Twice a year, Northern Jutland is home to millions of migrating birds. One of the things which makes them so exciting is that, no matter what the season or the wind and weather conditions there is always plenty to see. Between 300 and 350 species of birds are spotted in Denmark every year. Many of these are sedentary birds – which means there is a good chance of catching a glimpse of them in Northern Jutland.
Between Thy and Hanherred a unique world unfolds – an indescribable paradise for nature-lovers. Vejlerne, as the area is called, is Northern Europe's largest bird reserve; an area of over 6,000 hectares of low-lying land with four watchtowers on the edge of the enclosed areas in Tofte Skov and Høstemark Skov.

Northern Jutland looks fantastic when seen from a parachute. Beginners looking for a thrilling introduction can take a two-day course, including two jumps at Nordjysk Faldskærmsklub.

Tandem jumps: after only a few minutes training you are ready to experience free-fall followed by a wonderful five minute parachute descent followed by a safe landing. The only thing you have to concentrate on is, enjoying the ride.

Who has not imagined themselves flying like a bird? There are a number of gliding clubs in Northern Jutland which offer trial flights.

Gliding is a fascinating sport which makes use of natural forces for lengthy flights where you can enjoy a perfect view whilst you fly like a bird. Whether you take part in competitions or only compete with yourself, the experience of flying 1,000 metres above the earth is not to be missed.

Paragliders realise mankind's dream of flying aided only by nature's own forces. The only items of equipment you need are wings, a harness and a helmet: the whole lot can be transported in an overgrown rucksack.

In Northern Jutland, many paragliders take advantage of the area's tall coastal cliffs and the associated wind systems. Wind coming in over the cliff is forced upwards and can be used to keep a paraglider airborne for hours. Northern Jutland has some of the best cliffs for paragliding in Denmark.

You can also try flying in thermals. Warm air rises in thermals and a paraglider who has been pulled aloft on a wire to a height of some hundred metres can, if he or she can find a thermal, take a trip lasting for several kilometres. Trips are available all year round but the best season for gliding is in the summer months.
