Herning

Herning is represented by Herning Blue Fox, a Metal Ligaen (top-tier) ice hockey team that plays its home games at the KVIK Hockey Arena.

Herning is a small but massively impressive city in central Jutland, Denmark’s largest peninsula. While there’s evidence of both Pagan and Viking roots in the area, Herning became largely developed in the industrial era thanks to its furniture and textiles factories. The city has honoured its roots with an enviable selection of furniture and textile boutiques dotted throughout. Today, however, the city’s legacy lies in its excellence in modern and contemporary art. It’s home to Herning Museum of Contemporary Art and the Carl-Henning Pedersen & Else Alfelt Museum, both of which leave every visitor astounded by their brilliance. With Denmark’s second-largest city, Aarhus, to the east and the rugged Skodbjerge coast to the west, Herning is the perfect base for exploring the best of Jutland.
