The Aarhus Region - everything you could wish for

The Aarhus Region
The Aarhus Region is where you will find Aarhus, second city in Denmark, Silkeborg, Denmark’s Outdoor Capital, situated in the Lake District, Søhøjlandet, the historical, medieval town of Viborg, and the old market town of Randers on the banks of Gudenåen, not to mention Djursland, with great attractions lined up like pearls on a string.
