Eastern Jutland and Mols, military history and military secrets from the Schleswig wars to the Cold War

Join us on a guided bus tour to some of Denmark's most beautiful nature and culture, jam-packed with stories and information about Danish military history. 

Eastern Jutland and Mols contain some of Denmark's most impressive nature, formed during the Ice-age, leaving it with soft rolling hills with spectacular views over its cities, land and water.

We'll start just south of Aarhus at Moesgård, where a memorial to Prussia's fallen soldiers during its first occupation of Jutland in May 1849, as a result of the Schleswig War of 1848-50. The natural frontline the Germans utilised during these conflicts is still visible in the landscape. 

We will also enjoy the nature around the old manor house Moesgård and of course experience Moesgård Museum's surroundings. From here we'll continue to Aarhus. On the way, we'll encounter a little military secret: the bunker on Oddervej in Aarhus, which is still used by the Danish navy. 

We'll see the memorial stone to the battle at Randersvej. The 31st of May 1849 the Prussians launched an attack here against General Rye's forces, which had retreated from the north of the city. Luckily the Prussians lost the battle and were forced to retreat back down to the south of Aarhus.

We can also take a look at the city's new cultural icons; Dokk 1, the central library and Aarhus Ø, the new harbour built with impressive modern architecture.

After this we'll keep on going along the beautiful country roads toMols, following almost the same route as General Rye took to Helgenæs. We'll pass by the picturesque castle ruins of Kalø and onwards to Ryes Skanser at Draget, which is a narrow piece of land leading to Helgenæs. This is where General Rye's forces disembarked and sailed to Fredericia, where they participated in the battle of Fredericia the night between the 5th-6th of July 1849 and won one of the strategically best-led military campaigns in Danish history, that sadly also gave Denmark an overconfident attitude that led to disaster in the war of 1864. In this area, we'll see some amazing views over both Kalø Bay and Ebeltoft Bay. 

We'll continue from there to Femmøller beach, which offers another military secret: The NATO pier and the Jutland oil pipeline. The area is though dotted with peaceful summerhouses, which were first placed in the area in 1923 by architect, urban planner and artist Egil Fischer.

We'll end the tour in Ebeltoft with the frigate Jutland, which participated in the sea battle against the Austrian fleet in Helgoland, the 9th of May, as part of the second Schleswig war in 1864. Ebeltoft has several other sights too; a glass-blowing museum and a walking route along the old main street are both worth experiencing in this cosy, well-preserved market town dating back to the 17th century.

It will be possible to order lunch, dinner and coffee with cake in advance. 

The tour focusing on food and the good stories is a guided bus tour starting in Vejle, from where we drive towards Jelling. We can of course start somewhere else according to your choice.

We visit a traditional old grocery store which is now also a museum. If you are into nostalgia, be sure to make a few purchases at the counter. It's hard not to.

We carry on to the beautiful Nørup Church, an old medieval church restored to its present day's unique look with a Russian style onion dome, which is very unusual for a Danish church.

From Nørup church we go to the UNESCO World Heritage site at Jelling. See the large runic stone where king Harald Bluetooth in the year 965 claimed that he made the Danes Christian. The runic stone is said to hold the birth certificate of Denmark as a nation.

We end our morning with a delicious Viking lunch in one of Jelling's nice cafes, known for its locally produced, high quality food and drink. We might be able to listen a story by the proprietor while having lunch. 

After lunch you will have time to enjoy the historic experience centre Kongernes Jelling, Royal Jelling, before we head back to Vejle.

Aarhus is one of the oldest cities in Denmark, and at the same time a young city in rapid change. This means that Aarhus is packed with good stories, whether you are interested in the vikings, Aarhus in the Middle Ages or the modern city.  

Aarhus is an interesting city also architecturally, and a guided coach tour, is definitely the easiest way to see it in a short time. We will go by the midieval cathedral, the city hall with its unique architecture from the 1930s, the world renowned ARoS Museum of Modern Art, the ever expanding university of Aarhus and her majesty the Queens summer residence, Marselisborg Palace, the famous Old Town open air museum and lots more!

If you have special interests or requests, I'll happy to arrange tours made to your requirements, with stops when you feel like it.

Guide Service Denmark can arrange a coach for you as well if you wish.

Explore the land of the Vikings on a guided coach tour in the Northwestern part of Jutland.

Take a historic and panoramic coach tour across the land of the Vikings, through the west of Himmerland and crossing the Limfjord. Your will discover many places dating back to the Vikings.

After meeting up, we start with a guided tour of the Borremose Fortress, dating back to the bronze age, approximately 500 B.C. Duration: about 1 hour.

Driving through the moorlands towards Aggersborg, we pass the area where the oldest signs of agriculture in Denmark are found, and where the famous Gundestrup Kettle was discoveres in 1891.

The next stop will be at Aggersborg which is the biggest of a number of the circular Viking fortresses in Denmark. This one was built by one of the last Danish Viking kings Harald Blåtand, Harold Bluetooth, about the year 980 – the very same king who boasted on the Jelling stone about christening the Danes. When at Aggersborg, we will also visit the Aggersborg Church, despite the church being much newer than the fortress.

Next stop is approximately 5 km away in Løgstør. Here we will take lunch – you can bring a packed lunch, or we can order lunch in one of the local restaurants beforehand.

After lunch I do a guided walk in Løgstør, 2-3 kilometres in largely flat terrain. I will tell you about the importance of Løgstør by the Limfjord, and we will take a look at the Frederik the VII Canal. Nearby is a vey interesting museum, the Limfjodsmuseum, dedicated to showing how the Limfjord changed from a slightly brackish sweetwater lake to a saltwater fiord. This happened after a storm when the Noth Sea broke through the isthmus af Thyborøn in 1862 – no more pike or perch, hello to cod and plaice.

The tour continues south by coach and we pass the old Vittskøl monastary on our way back to Års. In Års you can see a lot of works by a contemoprary Danish artist, Per Kirkeby.

If you wish, a visit to the Vesthimmerland Museum can be arranged to end or start the tour.

You can choose to make arrangements for your own coach, or we can book one for you and the tour can start at your hotel instead of Års.

One of the things that people associate the most with Denmark is the ferocious Viking warriors familiar from films and fiction. However truth is often stranger than fiction and this tour will show you who the people known as the Vikings really were and what the truth is that lies behind these stories.

On this tour you will join a guide with huge interest in the Vikings who will take you on a journey through the mythology and lifestyle of these fearsome people.

We then head to the reconstructed Viking village in the west of Copenhagen where you will meet re-enactors and learn how the Vikings lived. From the village we will go to explore the monuments at Lejre, the old royal centre for the Danish Vikings, and the location of the hall of Heorot from the poem Beowulf.

We finish the tour by the shores of Roskilde fjord at the Viking Ship Museum before heading back to Copenhagen.
