Points of Interest & Landmarks

If you live for and love nature then this is for you This is a unique experience because of the two bodies of water meeting and I was totally mesmerized by watching the waves collide from their each direction.

While we were there the seal were playing in the water and that made it be also intriguing to watch their heads bob up and down in the surf.

We came to Raabjerg Mile from a nearby camping by bikes and loved it from the first moment. An extraordinary contrast when the forest suddenly changes into "a desert" is beautiful.

- Well worth a visit.
Sunday: 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Monuments & Statues • Ships

The wooden frigate ‘Jylland’ is one of the longest and most significant historic wooden ships in the world. Built in 1857-1860, it was both the first and last warship in the Danish navy with an originally inbuilt steam driven engine and sails – a cutting edge hybrid of its time, superior in speed with its long and slender hull. It survived 18 hits during the battle of Heligoland 1864 and worked as a royal ship, sailing King Christian IX to the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Saint Petersburg in 1874 and 1876. Since then, the old warship has functioned as lodging for soldiers and children of the rural districts of Denmark, as exhibition facilities of the National Exhibition of 1909 and others. Many times, it has faced the destruction of slow decay and being sold for scraps. Thanks to ardent people, skilled craftsmen and generous foundations, the proud ship survived and now resides in its dry dock in Ebeltoft. WELCOME ABOARD! See more..
