    Many Possibilities
    West Jutland has many exciting activities on the menu, so experience the amazing black leopards at Jutland Park Zoo in Herning or the white, sandy beach which stretches across the North Sea. Try skiing, windsurfing, finding the right fishing rod to go angling in the sea, or viewing the fjords and the region's many islands. Spend a day in a national park, a bird sanctuary or take a night trip with the watchman on Ringkøbing's charming streets. What about something to eat? Should the menu consist of world-class Nordic cuisine at one of Denmark’s fine restaurants, smoked fish in the scenic area of Hvide Sande, or a tasty pizza at one of the many shops in the area? The possibilities are endless. With only a few km separating the various Danhostels - each with its unique charm and knowledgeable hosts - plan the optimal route from accommodation to attraction while on your holiday.
