More About Gjøl

"Gjøl is a small village with about 1300 people located at the Limfjord and in old days most of the citizens were farmers and fishermen. Still there are some traditional farmers and a lot of fur farmers (mink) but most of the people are working at companies outside Gjøl, a lot in Aalborg, which is one of the largest cities in Denmark and is only 20 kilometers away. We do have some small companies here in Gjøl, mostly craftsman. The only fisheries now is done by people who do it for their hobby."

"The town is a long town, what I mean, is nearly almost one road, and small side roads from the main street. I guess the main road is 4 km long. The population in Gjol, or Gjøl in Danish, is around 1500."
