Situated in Western Jutland, 150 km north of the German/Danish border, an hour’s drive from Billund Airport, “Nationalpark Skjern Å” will be opened in summer 2011 as number 4 in the line of Danish Nationalparks.
Summerhouses at the North Sea, excellent camping sites and a pleasing urban life in Herning make the area a firstrate holiday resort.
National Park Skjern Å
covers an area of 248 km2.
‘Skjern Stream’ rises in ‘Tinnet Krat’ in Mid Jutland and runs into Ringkøbing Inlet. The stream and its many tributaries drain 2.500 km2, about 11% of Jutland’s area.
The length of the whole Skjern Stream system is about 1.500 km and is the greatest abounding in water in Denmark.
The area is a unique ground with a magnificent nature.
The stream valley and the moors are habitat for an extensive flora and fauna.
Best known is the ‘Skjern Stream Salmon’.
The re-established “Skjern Meadows” is setting for a rich birds’ fauna with international importance as resting and wintering place for aquatic birds.
With its system of good footpaths, birdwatching towers, and the possibilities of sailing, cycling and riding, ‘Nationalpark Skjern Å’ is worth visiting all the year round for the whole family.
