Enjoy the magnificent setting of the Trehøje Heath, take a bike ride through the beautiful scenery along the bicycle path ”Alhedestien” between Herning and Viborg, go canoeing and sleep in shelters along the creek or simply go fishing in the Karup or Skjern River.

The cultural scene offers plenty of fuel for the mind. Visit the Carl-Henning Pedersen & Else Alfelt Museum, the giant sculpture Elia by Ingvar Cronhammar or for instance the Herning Art Museum. The ladder will relocate to a brand new building in September 2009. The building is designed by the American architect Steven Holl.


The local museums are also well worth a visit. For families with children, Jutland's Park Zoo is also highly recommendable.
