I drove out here with a group of friends and really enjoyed the fresh ocena air and lovely views from up on the old classic lighthouse. The lighthouse also has a quaint cafe attached to it, and dont miss the wonderful array of homemade jams! Yummy!

Have fun climbing the 250+ stairs to the top and great view of both Fjord and North Sea. Nice shop selling handycrafts, homemade sweets and serving coffee etc. Also a fun little workshop where local artist make decorative works from beach pebbles. And a surprising playground which got all 3 kids (6, 11 and 18) excited.

Travelling with three generations, the open air museum was great fund for all. The chance to see how farm life was through generations adding the presence of volunteers dressed in traditional, yet best sunday, clothes was interesting and fun. The bakery, the saw mill and the steam train was the hightlight, though the workshop staff - all trained craftsmen was great too. Obviously enjoying showing their craftsmanship!
The youngest generation was absorbed by the animals - hens, sheeps, gease and horses.
Remember to bring your packed lunch with you, and remember that not all the volunteers know foreign languages.

Superb aircraft collection in warm clean environment. Many historic aircraft flown by the Danish air force form the early times to the last with the F16 and Sea King. Some aircraft are flown in the evenings during the summer so ask at the desk or check the website to catch this. Good model displays and pleasant cafe with limited food and drink.

This very significant site of reconciliation is unique in the world, in that it commemorates the dead of two World War One navies, the British Royal Navy Grand Fleet and the Imperial German High Seas Fleet at the Battle of Jutland. Unusually there are no winners or losers in this memorial park where the design seeks to explain in a neutral fashion the terrible scale of the losses. 25 ships out of 251 were sunk with 8,645 men on both sides lost in the space of just 12 hours, 31st May to 1st June 1916. The park occupies a large area of attractive coast, roughly about three football pitches in area with 26 named granite stones each up to 3½ metres high numbering the losses from each ship. The ghostly figures surrounding each stone represent each life lost, no uniform or colour to distract the view. Highly recommended for a contemplation visit. The Battle of Jutland Memorial Park is open 24 hours every day and is free to enter.

This museum is a labour of love curated and built by Danish diver and historian, Gert Norman Andersen. It was Andersen who discovered the wreck of U-20, the submarine that sunk the RMS Lusitania in May 1915. As owner of a large subsea contracting business, Andersen has been able to finance numerous expeditions to the Battle of Jutland wreck sites and has amassed a unique collection of artifacts which are now displayed in the museum’s large timber sheds. Whether you're a WW1 buff or just happen to be in the area, this museum is well worth a visit.

Very cheap. Old fashioned Danish dishes. Only a few to choose from, but pretty good. In door and out door Seating. Reservations can be made and recommended. Only open a few summer months every year.

The constellation of structures (the circular building housing the museum and the pyramid like structure), which comprise the Carl-Henning Pedersen and Else Alfelts Museum are so unique and colorful that even before you enter the museum building, you are already forewarned of what to expect of the huge collection of art by these two incredible artists, which are put together in just one place. The structures are architectural gems, the outer walls covered with ceramics, which are like canvas, upon which the capricious and playful art gods have generously splattered vibrant hues defying the ominous, dark skies, bringing life and color to the otherwise drab Danish landscape on a grey and rainy summer day. During our visit, there was also a huge and very interesting exhibit of Cobra artists, which included work of Heerup, Asger Jorn, just to mention a few, shown on the bottom floor of the museum. The permanent exhibits are found on different levels, and I believe are the most extensive showcase of Cobra art in Denmark. There should be around 6000 art works of Carl Henning Pedersen and Else Alfelt alone. Congratulations Herning for housing a world class museum! Before you visit the museum, check the website for opening times and days.
