...Denmark's Jutland peninsula is the small old town of Ebeltoft-a cluster of low red-roofed houses, cobblestone streets and idyllic gardens set in a rolling coastal landscape with good bathing and a fine variety of Viking graves, castle ruins and old country estates within visiting distance. Small inns and pensions are scattered through the area, as well as a modern hotel, Hvide Hus (White House).
