The Viborg Area – in the heart of the countryside!
You’re in the middle of a green world in the Viborg area, where you’ll find some of Denmark’s most attractive and dramatic landscapes, with deep, blue lakes, luxuriant river valleys, murmuring watercourses, deep ravines and big green deciduous forests, where the colossal forces of the last ice age’s big glaciers and melt water created the country’s most varied natural environment right here. So put on your hiking boots and enjoy experiences of nature you’ll long remember.
You can experience the wonders of the past in Viborg, one of Denmark’s oldest cities, where the history can still be seen in the old Middle Age streets. Viborg cathedral, with its unique frescoes illustrating all the tales in the bible, is in the old town.
