background
Administrative region
Northern Jutland forms the largest part of the administrative region of Northern Jutland, which was created in 2007.

getting there
The largest airport in the region is that of Aalborg. There are direct flights from Frankfurt and Amsterdam, otherwise transfer connections via Copenhagen.
Lyntog (express train) and regional trains run on the route (Copenhagen – Odense – Fredericia) -Aarhus–Aalborg–Hjørring–Frederikshavn. There are also individual train connections to Hirtshals and Skagen. Further information is available from Danish railways travel planner (also for buses).
From Northern Germany you can take the Intercity from Flensburg (several times a day also from Hamburg) to Fredericia and change there to the Lyntog to Aalborg, Hjørring and Frederikshavn. It takes about 6:15 hours from Hamburg to Aalborg.
The E 45 motorway is the continuation of the German A7 (Hamburg-Flensburg) to the north. It leads past Aarhus to Aalborg and Frederikshavn. From here the E 39 motorway branches off north of Aalborg, which leads to Hjørring and Hirtshals. For the 450 km from Hamburg to Aalborg you have to plan 4½ to five hours of pure travel time. Mors and Thy in northwest Jutland can be reached from Vejle via Primærruten (corresponds to federal highways) 18, 34 and 26. There are fixed road crossings in each case.
mobility
A car makes sense to get to most places, attractions and beaches. The E45 motorway connects Aalborg With Frederikshavn, furthermore the E39 with Hirtshals. Expressway 11 from Aalborg to Thisted opens up the western part very well. Most of the other roads are also very well developed and you can get ahead quickly.
Tourist Attractions
In addition to the many beautiful beaches on the North and Baltic Seas, special mention should be made of the two huge shifting dunes. Rubjerg Knude extends over a length of 1900 m and a width of 400 m south of Lønstrup on the North Sea coast. The dune extends north / south and slopes steeply to the sea. It is currently about 100 m high and slowly migrating inland. The lighthouse of the dune, Rubjerg Fyr, is now completely enclosed by the dune. Significantly, the lighthouse housed a flying sand museum until the 1990s.
