If you don’t feel like theatre, art, sport or city activities, your leisure time in Herning can also be en-joyed in nature. The clean air and the wide open spaces of the moorlands provide an excellent envi-ronment for walking or running, or perhaps an afternoon where you pick heather, collect mush-rooms or enjoy a picnic in peace and quiet.

The many lakes and streams of the area offer swimming, fishing, sailing in canoe, kayak or boat, or if you want to sit and look out over the sea or feel a good strong wind, Herning is only an hour’s drive from the North Sea, where there are attractive sandy beaches with good swimming water and fine sunbathing and windsurfing opportunities - or have a quiet hour in the sheltered area behind a dune.
