Hotger Lanskab Statue, Skjern
Highlight • Monument
Skjern, the small Danish town on the North Sea, lies at the gates of Northern Europe's largest national park.
With almost 8,000 inhabitants, Skjern is now the second largest town in the Ringkøbing-Skjern municipality and is picturesquely situated on the Skjern Å (in English Skjern Au), which is fed by Ringkøbing Fjord about 7km away and stretches over the Skjern Narrows, Denmark's only river delta , branched.
This makes the small town, which is called "Købstad" according to the Danish definition, particularly exciting for anglers (who may already be familiar with the "Skjern Å salmon"), canoeists and also for ornithologists - pure nature experience comes first here place, which is why a national park is also being created in the area.
The city planners of today's Skjern were probably also interested in the fact that Denmark's city with the most recent market right (only received in 1958) is very close to nature; so there are "green places" to discover everywhere, which have been lovingly designed and invite you to linger, which the residents, who are known for their friendly and relaxed nature, like to use.

Skjern Station
Highlight • Rest Area
The Ringkøbing-Varde railway was opened in 1875 and the Herning-Skjern line in 1881. This formed the basis for today's Skjern station. From 1920 to 1981 it was also the starting point for the Skjern-Videbæk Line, which was to be extended to Skive but never became one.
Skjern station has three platform tracks. A tunnel was built between the platforms as there is a lot of traffic between them as passengers have to change between trains and citizens of Skjern itself. Now there are platform crossings with warning in the form of flashes and sounds. In the station building there is a waiting room, ticket office and post office. Skjern bus station is a little further south. There is also a former warehouse and a water tower.
Skjern train station is located in the center of Skjern towards Bredgade opposite Banktorvet and the pedestrian street Jernbanegade.

Nicole with the Chair (Skjernpigen) Sculpture
Highlight • Monument
'Skjernpigen' is the result of a jubilee competition published by Skjern Bank to mark the bank's 75th anniversary in 1981. However, the unveiling of the statue was delayed until the city center was renovated.
At the unveiling, the director of the New Carlsberg Foundation, Hans Edvard Nørregaard-Nielsen, stated that the character "must symbolize a person who is ready to get something out of life, a life of prosperity - the character has to make us want to see that." joy in accepting who we are. I am allowed to wear the figure with health ".
"Nicole with the chair" is actually the real name of the character, according to artist Hanne Varming. She talked about Nicole, the salsa girl who she met at a party and who has since modeled for the artist on several occasions.
“There were all these young girls dancing around to salsa and stuff. And suddenly one of them screams: Nicole – come and dance – you're the only one who can do it right – and that's exactly what she was," said Hanne Varming about her first meeting with Nicole.
The inspiration for the sculpture came quickly: “One day, when I was about to make this figure, Nicole came into my studio and stood next to the chair. And chair and model simply fit together. That amazed me and still does. "And I hope you will be just as amazed," said the artist in his brief acceptance speech.
After the unveiling, the character has arguably become one of Skjern's most photographed 'girls': this is where tourists pose for photos in Skjern town.

The Green Corridor is divided into 5 urban areas:
• Skovkanten (the ”edge of the forest”) with horses and animals,
Lakes and trails to Skyggehus Dam and the
Skjern Birk plantation
• Byengen (the ”town square”) with a paddling/fishing lake
with a sandy shore, a bowling green and a toboggan
mountain with activities
• Anlægget (the ”Parks”) with a picturesque
pond, flowers and trees, a stage and areas
for games and activities
• Urskoven (the ”primeval forest”), a nature area with wilderness, vö-
gels, a lake and a vantage point and a
toboggan hill
The corridor has an extensive system of paths
and information boards were placed at various points

Mask Sculpture in Skjern
Highlight • Monument
The sculpture was later provided with a white back wall. This emphasizes the shape of the mask against the gray wall of the building.
Pigeons have "nested" in the eye sockets, as the photos show on closer inspection.
A "twin mask" can be seen on the building on the north corner of Storegade / Vejlevej in Tarm.
Masks are often something to hide behind to hide from others who is hiding behind the mask.
But that is not the purpose of the two masks in Skjern and Tarm.
The two masks should instead help forge a bond between the two neighboring towns of Skjern and Tarm.
