It doesn't take much to tempt me.

Ryanair are again doing one of their free flights offer (closes tonight, not including 'charges' and 'taxes'), so we looked at their destination list. Top, naturally, came Århus (also written as Aarhus), a city in Jutland.

Having seen major_clanger's trip report, we looked at each other, said "OK", and went for it. So, early next year, as a birthday treat, that's where we're going.

I like the way that one of the local high points is Himmelbjerget (or Sky Mountain), at 147 metres high. Hmm, that's a single metre higher than the highest point in Cambridgeshire, not exactly notorious for its hilliness. Guess Denmark is not for mountaineers, then.

Hills are relative things, though - 145m drop off all sides relative to the surrounding country and you've got quite a view, while a 1000m mountain that's only 20m higher than the surrounding plateau is most likely to be very dull. It also depends on what you've got to look at from the lofty heights of 145m - the muddy fens of Cambs aren't actually exciting unless you're a fen person.

I believe the highest point in Denmark is now the top of one of the towers of the Great Belt Bridge. I find this very amusing.
If you get bored you can go to Copenhagen on the fast train, too.

*LOL*
Our house is at 144 metres above sea level, but then we're only part way up the mountain!
Anyway - there are rules for height before something can be officially classed as a mountain, and it's a deal more than 147 metres!
