World map

Go on a cheap car holiday in Denmark and visit the World Map at Hobro. One day, some meadows were to be drained near Klejtrup Lake, south of Hobro, and a stone appeared that looked like Jutland. This prompted Søren Poulsen, a dancing cameraman, to build his own little world in the meadows. The new world was built between 1944 and 1969 and measures 45 x 90 metres. It was built by placing large stones on top of the frozen meadows and in the places where the worlds were to be. When the ice melted, the stones could be tilted into place with some difficulty. The equator is marked with red poles and the whole world map is reproduced with lakes, rivers and famous mountain ranges, so it's easy to send mum and dad to Australia, Borneo or Mount Everest if they want to. There's also an 18-hole mini-golf course on the World Map and in summer it's a great place to enjoy a sail in the Pacific Ocean, where even the little ones can join in, although there may be a few waves.

Rold Skov

Rold Skov is Denmark's largest forest. With its 8000 hectares, it offers plenty of experiences of various kinds. Of course, the forest offers a lot of nice hikes, for example around the lake Store Økssø. Rold Skov is a true mecca for MTB riders, as there are routes of varying difficulty and length. Horse riding in the vast forest is also popular. There is also a wonderful nature playground, Røverknolden, which invites you to play and have fun.

In the old days it could be quite dangerous to visit the place. Legendary robbers such as Bette Fanden, Long Ajes, Lorentz Nielsen and Petronillen kept a sharp eye on the inn, and when guests on their way home passed through Rold Skov, the robbers would strike. But thankfully the robberies in the forest are a thing of the past and today only the legend lives on, along with the beautiful statues commemorating the four robbers.

Viborg Cathedral

Explore Denmark with Risskov and drive yourself to the experiences that await. One of the many surprises that Viborg hides is its beautiful cathedral, whose history dates back to the 12th century. Along the way up through the ages, the church experienced several serious fires, with the last one razing it to the ground in 1726. As a result, not much remained of the beautiful cathedral, in fact, only the old crypt survived the ravages of time. The rest has been rebuilt and the present church was consecrated in 1876. In the crypt's southern chapel is the Well of St. Kjeld, where many sick people, and especially the blind, are said to have been healed. The walls and vaults of the cathedral were decorated by the artist Joakim Skovgaard and his assistants, who covered the walls and vaults of the cathedral with very colourful frescoes from the Bible story, from Adam and Eve to the end times, from 1901 to 1913. Find gay-friendly hotels in Viborg and the surrounding area and go on a self-drive holiday at your own pace with the whole family.
