A Day Out in the Land of the Vikings – a Coach Tour
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.

October 1943 – Danish Jews were Rescued Via Gilleleje
The Danish policy of cooperation with the Nazi regime prevented it from persecuting Jewish citizens. However, in 1943, Nazi terror was directed against Danish Jews.
In October the occupation forces attempted to capture and deport a population of around 7000 Danish Jews. A popular counteraction managed to save all of them except 500 souls, who were deported to the concentration camp at Theresienstadt, in the former Czechoslovakia. The flee to Sweden was predominantly carried out along the coast of northern Zealand. The town of Gilleleje served as a beacon of light in the dark. Almost a thousand Danish Jews embarked upon vessels from the beaches and the harbour – right in front of the Gestapo's noses, with help from private individuals and the Danish authorities.
This is a unique account of what happened. Explore Gilleleje, the town at the tip of Zealand during this 3-hour bus and walking tour from Copenhagen and back.
Transport is needed for longer tours
If you want to go further than your feet can take you a coach or a car is the right form of transport. This is a fine choice if you have a group and you want to share a guide.
When you go exploring by coach or car, the guide makes sure that you make some strategically good stops. The right stops for stories to be told and sometimes also opportions for comfort stops. When you choose to go by coach, you can reach further and if some in the group are not good walkers you can also spare your legs.
Cars and drivers
There are strict regulations as to who are allowed to as professional drivers of coaches and cars with paying clients. Therefore we recommend that you book a coach or driver. We can provide a few guides with professional driving licences. However, the car must be rented, and sometimes it is cheaper to rent a minibus with a driver than a car. It depends on the size of the car or the rental company. If you rent the coach, diesel or electricity is included, petrol will not be for the car.
We are happy to help you book a coach or rent a car. We comply with Danish legislation regarding professionals driving licenses. Therefore, only a few are driver guides. The vast majority stick to guiding only and letting a driver manage the wheel in the car or coach.
Coach tours all around Denmark
You can go on a guided tour by coach or car throughout Denmark. This means that you can spend the night in, for example, Copenhagen and from there drive to North Zealand to enjoy the royal castles. You can also drive south to experience that part of Zealand. There are many beautiful places to explore, and once the guide shares the stories, a place usually becomes much more enticing than experiencing it on your own.
You can also go on a tour around Funen and stop in some of the beautiful market and coastal towns or visit Egeskov Castle or some of the many beautiful places in Funen. The Funen guides will be happy to talk about and show off their favorite island in Denmark.
If you are on holiday in Jutland, the distances immediately become longer. That is if you want to drive all the way from south to north. However, there is no reason for that, because even small distances reveal great variety in Jutland. You can explore beautiful and charming cities, Ice Age landscapes, forest or heath - and also the coast all around our country, which is great to explore in itself.
We are happy to say visit Denmark with Guide Service Denmark on a tour by coach, car and our Danish guide services.
