Skive

Skive has an exciting history and has become a commercial centre, with a network of pedestrian streets and plenty of shopping opportunities. The many specialty shops and small cosy boutiques are within a pleasant distance, it is simply not far to the next shop. There is always life and fun in the streets, especially around Rådhustorvet and Posthustorvet, where there are often activities and market days.

Mønsted Lime Mines

Mønsted Kalkgruber is located at Mønsted, south of Hjarbæk Fjord and west of Viborg. The limestone pits are caves in a limestone layer close to the surface, where lime has been quarried for many centuries, for example to produce mortar for building churches and monasteries. Mønsted Limestone Mines is the world's largest limestone mine and an endless labyrinth of mine galleries. Try the mine train in summer or see how many bats you can spot.

Hjerl Hede

The Hjerl Hede open-air museum displays a collection of small cultural environments and elements of the Danish village community. Here you can discover regional variations in building and interior design and see how people lived and worked 100-200 years ago. Hjerl Hede also has Denmark's oldest known farmhouse, Vinkelgården from 1546, which is definitely worth a trip when you are on a summer or family holiday in Jutland.

Jesperhus

The holiday park on Mors, where Hugo the Jungle Animal lives.

In Jesperhus Blomsterpark, the animals are free-range, so you can get up close and personal with them.

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.

Fur

Come and discover Fur, probably one of Denmark's most beautiful islands. Fur was voted "Denmark's most beautiful island" in 2010, and after a visit to Fur, it certainly is. Take a walk down to the beach and enjoy the good weather and the unique opportunity to get an exciting insight into the Danish past. But start by visiting the exciting island museum, Fur Museum, which gives its visitors a really good insight into the island's history, and then of course there's the absolutely incredible exhibition of fossils. There are also nature workshops and a dinosaur geopark. And believe it or not, there is also a brewery on Fur, located in the former mill factory. The factory has been modernised and now houses a microbrewery and a few restaurants. During the summer there are regular tours of the factory, and the tour of the brewery also throws up a few tasters. An exciting range of beers are produced, from porters to wheat and lagers, and more than 15 different light and darker beers are brewed, so there should be a few that hit the spot. Perhaps this is also where the many Fur artists find their inspiration. There are no fewer than 20 studios and workshops on the island, producing everything from jewellery design and ceramics to sculpture and silk painting.
