Skive - Old Village (Herjl Hede Nature Park) Den gamle Landsby

Southwest of Skive, and accessible via Vinderup, by Lake Flynder lies Herjl Hede Nature Park, 1,000 ha/2,500 acres in area. It is named after H. P. Hjerl-Jansen, who acquired the site in 1900. The chief attraction is the Open-air Museum known as "Den gamle Landsby" (The Old Village), with a smithy, inn, fire-station, mills, shops and a church, together with one of the oldest Danish farm settlements, the Vinkelgård from near Viborg. A former forest ranger's lodge now houses the Jutland Forest Museum; outside a Stone Age settlement has been constructed as well as a Bronze and an Iron Age house.
