If you don’t feel like theatre, art, sport or city activities is something for you, your leisure time in Herning can also be enjoyed in nature. The clean air and the wide open spaces of the moorlands provide an excellent environment for walking or running, or perhaps an afternoon where you pick heather, collect mushrooms 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 you’ll find 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.

If you’re one of those who like to spend a night in the nature, there are numerous possibilities. We provide many shelters and camping sites. And while you’re at it, why not visit the beauty of Mid-Jutland, The Skjern Å National Park. Its beauty will dazzle you and provide numerous hours of activities. For more information, please see Skjern Å National Park folder.

No matter if you visit us for a day, two or more, alone or with your family, or choose to stay and work here, we will always have something for everyone.
