No other region in Denmark has experienced being thrown backwards and forwards by kings and world powers in anything like the same degree as the southeast and southern part of Jutland. That is what makes the southeast and south of Jutland so special, because this region holds an important part of Danish history. It was in Jelling that Denmark’s "birth certificate" was signed by Harold Bluetooth, and it is South East Jutland and South Jutland which has seen the fights for king and country during the major wars. Where past and present meet Take a trip back in time in the warm and cosy ambience you will experience in the many provincial towns in the region, or take a nap in a deck chair on one of the wonderful sandy beaches near Sønderborg. For children and playful souls of all ages South East Jutland and South Jutland is a paradise with numerous amusement parks, attractions and activity parks. As well as its fascinating historical monuments, the area has a remarkable concentration of arts and craft from this and the previous century. There is a spectrum of pictorial art, sculptures, handicrafts, textiles and furniture art. In addition to this there is a veritable undergrowth of small handicraft workshops and private galleries in and around the major towns. If you are interested in Scandinavian art from the 20th and 21st centuries, the ‘Sønderjyllands Kunstmuseum’ art museum is the perfect place to go. Other museums worthy of a visit in the region are the Vejle Museum of Art, the ‘Museet på Koldinghus’, and the ‘Trapholt’ museum in Kolding to name but a few.
