Djursland (Danish pronunciation: [ˈtjuɐ̯ˀsˌlænˀ]) is a 1,417 km2 (547 sq mi) hilly lowland peninsula in Denmark at the entrance to the Baltic Sea, between Denmark and Sweden in Northern Europe. Djursland protrudes into the Kattegat sea, as part of the larger peninsula of Jutland, which itself extends from the Central European continent. Djursland comprises the two municipalities of Norddjurs and Syddjurs. The only larger city on Djursland is Grenå, but both Randers and Aarhus are close-by. Agriculture and fishing has been the mainstay of the rural culture here for millennia. There are many prehistoric relics of the past on Djursland, reaching back to the earliest cultures of the Nordic Stone Age. Djursland is a popular place for recreation in the summer and has several activities for tourists to offer. It attracts both Danes and foreigners alike and tourism is a major job and economic contributor on Djursland nowadays. Since 2009, a larger area of Djursland has been part of Mols Bjerge National Park, connecting several previously disconnected protections.

Until 1 January 2007 Midtdjurs ("Central Djursland") was a municipality (Danish, kommune) in the former Aarhus County on the Jutland peninsula in central Denmark. The municipality, in the middle of a region known as Djursland, covered an area of 179 km2, and had a total population of 7.763 (2005).

Huldremose Woman, or Huldre Fen Woman, is an Iron Age bog body recovered in 1879 from a peat bog near Ramten, Jutland, Denmark. Analysis by Carbon 14 dating indicates that she lived during the Iron Age, sometime between 160 BC and 340 AD. Her remains are notable for their exceptional preservation, extensive textile assemblage, and evidence of perimortem injuries. Unlike many other bog bodies, Huldremose Woman was found fully clothed, wearing multiple garments made of wool, plant fibres, and animal skins, materials that have provided significant insight into Scandinavian textile technology during the Early Iron Age. The mummified remains are exhibited at the National Museum of Denmark. The elaborate clothing worn by Huldremose Woman has been reconstructed and displayed at several museums.
