The Forest Snake – or Deep Forest Art Land, as the sculpture park is also known – takes you both out into the open air and into the quiet depths of the forest, where you can see over 80 works of art. Close to Skarrildhus is Døvling Meldgaard Forest, which houses the Skovsnogen Sculpture Park. Here, hikers from near and far can spend a day in nature and experience wild art installations in the glow of the surrounding area.
Walk along the hilly terrain, where the three-kilometre-long forest path takes you past a wealth of works. On the winding path you will experience amazement, astonishment and not least change. Both the sculptures and the surrounding forest are in constant development: Some works will slowly disappear over time, others follow the development of the area, while a completely third party remains unchanged.
Skovsnogen is the first Danish sculpture park to exhibit experimental art on nature's terms. Therefore, a day in Skovsnogen's artspace will make your stay near Herning something very special.
If you want to include all the details when you visit Skovsnogen or Deep Forest Art Land, you can easily book a guided tour. Then you can get a handle on how works came to be and what exactly is meant by them. Along the way, the guide will tell you about the selected works and the thoughts behind Skovsnogen.
Although the works are adapted to nature, the people behind Skovsnogen make sure that the tour is also adapted to your needs. Therefore, all guided tours are packed with delicious food baskets, where both afternoon coffee and crispy snacks are enjoyed under the treetops in the glow of the scenic light of art and the forest.
Are you in a car? Good on foot? Or do you just love to start the day out on the saddle of the iron horse? Whichever mode of transport you prefer, you can get to the Sculpture Park Skovsnogen. By car, foot and bike, you can easily move from Skarrildhus to Deep Forest Art Land along the quiet Sdr. Ommevej. It is a straight stretch of just over four kilometers that leads you to the parking lot, P2, where you have direct access to the forest's path system and the many works.
It doesn't get any easier to start the day with art, culture and culminating nature.
