Turist information
So,
You are going to Denmark, maybe for the first time in your life, why not make a vacation of it? And why do you not bring your family as well?
In this page you will find some of the icons of Denmark, but as always there is a lot more to it than icons.
Herning, the capitol of the Heath
The town has evolved from a few houses around a single spinning mill in the 1870's to one of the most dynamic areas in Denmark today.
Herning is still known world wide for its textile industry, but also for one of Scandinavia's largest and most flexible experience centers facilitating large expos, sporting events, indoor and outdoor concerts and theaters.

The infrastructure is first class with new highways leading you to the rest of the continent. The nature in the area is varying from flat farmland, hilly forests, creeks and lakes to the abandoned mining areas of Soeby.

The Northern Sea - 1 hour drive
Even though Denmark is a small country we have 7.134 km of coast line
Take a trip to the west coast and enjoy the sea. Sometime the sea is calm and you can swim or go for a long walk on the sandy beach. Other times the waves are roaring against the dunes and mother nature makes you feel quite insignificant. Either way the nothern sea is a breath taking experience.
If you like surfing, go north to Klitmøller and discover the Cold Hawaii
The Old Town Aarhus - 1 hour drive
A little further away...
H C Andersens house, Odense - 1½ hour drive
Anybody who does not know the fairytales of Hans Christian Andersen? "The ugly ducling" or "The emperor's new clothes" I dont think so.
If you are into classic music you will probably know the composer Carl Nielsen so why not pay his museum a visit?
Or would you like to see how farmers and craftsmen lived in the 18. century? Pay a visit to The Funen village
The little Mermaid, Copenhagen - 3 hour drive
Tivoli, Copenhagen - 3 hour drive
Do not cheat yourself! Take yourself to "Carstensens garden" as Tivoli is reffered to among the citizens of Copenhagen. The amusementpark opened for the first time in 1843 and is still going strong. You will find bigger rides everywhere but you wont find anything as beautyfull and breathtaking as the iluminated Tivoli at night time anywhere.
