  Life on the heaths of Central and West Jutland

  Frilandsmuseet Herning provides a unique opportunity to experience life in the countryside on the heaths of West and Central Jutland, as it was lived in the 1800s. Between the old fruit trees, you can move in and out between the old farming environment, where volunteers every Thursday forges iron, tends to the garden, farms honey and maintain the old buildings, using old techniques.

  Indoors, you will find our “Occupation Apartment”, portraying life in an apartment during the German occupation of Denmark between 1940-1945, as well as the exhibition of the folklorist Evald Tang Kristensen. You can also go on an adventure in Jens Nielsen’s Farm, which is one of the museum's most popular attractions – especially for children. Here, more than 100 different zograscopes show the daily life all year round on a farm in the early 1900s.

  At Frilandsmuseet, you can experience a comprehensive sound installation - a so-called soundscape. The soundscape is installed in the old farmhouse. Here, the museum's guests can experience a complete and authentic sound experience of a heath peasant family's everyday life in the latter half of the 19th century.

  Deep Forest Art Land - Skovsnogen

  24.53 km

  The route takes you through a hilly landscape with a stream, meadows, and traces of the Ice Age. Along the way, the works appear among trees, clearings, and the forest floor, and the character of the experience is constantly changing.

  There is always something new to discover. The forest changes with the seasons, and so does the encounter with the artworks. A visit in summer is not the same as a walk in autumn, winter, or spring. Deep Forest Art Land is also a place in motion, where you can follow new works taking shape, and where the Sculpture Graveyard at the end of the route gives older works new life in the forest.

  When you arrive, the experience begins at the parking area, where you can get your bearings and pick up an overview map and route guide. A marked trail leads you along one planned path through the forest, and the walk can be divided into two parts, allowing you to choose the length and pace that suit you. The path is gravel-surfaced and can be used on foot as well as with a stroller, wheelchair, and walking stick.

  Along the way, there are good opportunities to take a break. At the start and halfway along the route, you will find an accessible composting toilet with changing facilities, and there are seating areas at several points along the route — also under cover if the weather changes. On the way, you will also come across the Skovsnogen playground, and you are welcome to bring a packed lunch or a coffee basket and enjoy your break in the forest.

  Deep Forest Art Land is for families with children, tourists, and anyone looking for a different kind of experience in nature. A place worth the drive — and one that can bring the family together around a shared adventure for the day.

  Tvis Monastery

  29.72 km

  On 24th March 1163, Buris Henriksen was seated in his farmstead in the company of distinguished guests. In addition to King Valdemar I of Denmark the company included two bishops, three Cistercian abbots, and several magnates. They were gathered in order to testify to and seal Buris Henriksen founding of a Cistercian monastery in Tvis.
  The Cistercian monasteries formed a large and solid network of monasteries throughout Europe, and Tvis became part of this community. The name of the monastery was Tuta Vallis, Latin for ‘the safe valley’. The Tvis Monastery was situated near the place where the Tvis River flows into the Storå river.

  In 1693 the monastery was demolished, and a wing erected against the monastery's west wing was made parish church. Not until 1887 was this wing demolished, when Tvis' present church was finished. Today nothing remains of the monastery. You can see more of the monastery's history in the old water mill on the site.

  At present, shelters have been built in the area. If you want to stay in the shelters on the square you can book them before. The shelters is for free use but booking the shelters gives certain visitors first priority.
