Campervan Rental Herning

Cruising in your RV rental in Herning through the green forests of Jylland, among fields, cows, and windmills, you might be surprised to find Denmark's greatest art hub outside of Copenhagen.

This rural farmland has seen the stylings of Madonna, Eric Clapton, Prince, Rihanna, and the rest of the Hollywood Hills residents within the walls of its great arenas.

Some of the finest contemporary art of the North is exhibited in the HEART (Herning Museum of Contemporary Art) of Jylland. Head out to the streets of Herning to experience street theater and dance groups tangoing through town during the annual Culture Festival.

Not only does Herning offer fine modern art and magnificent theater experiences. Being one of the most well-preserved towns in Scandinavia, Herning is a portal through time.

Museums such as Søby Brunkulsmuseum, Helenes Hus, and the open-air Museum are externally conserved and transformed, so you can experience the hardships of life as a Danish farmer from the 17th Century until today.
