General overview
In the middle of everything green, but still close to the city we live in a great villa with everything you need.
We made a video presentation of our house - https://youtu.be/gq3IQ4mjOr4 - please watch it and also the video below which our 1st exchange family from France made for us when they came home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz9cImewJM4&t=11s
The space
We live in an area where all the houses are newly built around 2005-. Our neighbors are very friendly and helpful. Here is a quiet an relaxed atmosphere.
Within the last couple of years many families has moved to Rødding, because of the beautiful surrondings/nature. The nature is according to Danish condictions quite hilly, there are many good bikerides and runningtracks. We also live close to the woods and if you would like to sleep in shelters there is one close to our house overlooking the lake of Rødding. The village has a medieval church, a small supermarket, soccer fields and multi-arena for free use as well as a big play ground for children at the school, everything is within walking distance.
Down by the lake to the left (5 min walking) there is an aerial runway and a newly built playground for kids. Se the video of the playground and the surroundings here.
If you walk to the left of the lake you will find a shelter where you are able to have a fire as well. You may sleep in the shelter. But in high season it is often spoken for, so maybe you'll have to book it.
If you take the car and drive for 10 min. you are in the center of Viborg. It is a beautiful medieval town. It has a Cathedral and the area around the cathedral is a trip back in history, with its narrow streets and halftimbered houses and paving stones. Viborg dates back to the year 1000.
In the city center you will find lots of shops, cafes and museums. There is a very beautiful park situated next to one of the two big lakes, (where you can buy the most exquisite ice cream, try it with "guf" uhm;-) which the town is built around.
In one of the lakes you can take a swim at "Nørresø lake bath". The town also has an open air pool as well as a great indoor swimming pool with jacuzzi, slides, and wellness center.
If you drive a little further for about 15 more minutes you will find the Dollerup Bakker (Dollerup Hills). It is a "must see". We often go there all year around either for bathing in the Hald Lake or just to go hiking and enjoy the beautiful scenery - it is specatular. Here there are many possibilities to either go hiking or picnicing. The nature is dramatic with springs, lakes, pathways, woods, meadows, heath land, steep hills and a ruin that dates back to the middel ages.
If you are into fishing or golfing there are also plenty of possibilities for that.
If you travel with children there are a lot of possibilies:
- Within 10 min you can reach GAME STREET MEKKA - an indoor place for everyone who likes to do sport of alle kinds and for all ages https://game.ngo/game-denmark/
- Within 20 min. you can reach Mønsted Kalkgruber (Mønsted Limestone mines) which can be quite spooky and impressive. It also has many great exhibitions of how they used to work in the mines.
- Within 20 min. you can reach The Electric Museum, where you can play with the exhibition and learn about electricity.
- Within 15 min drive you can visit Hvolris Iron Age Village. It's a 'living museum" of how people lived in the iron age.
- Whitin 45 min. drive you can reach "Baboon City", which is a indoor playland for children of all ages.
- Within 35 min you can reach Randers Rainforest, which is a rainforest with all its natural inhabitants.
- Within 1 hour's drive you will reach Århus, Denmark's second largest city. It has Tivoli Friheden, but also lots of museums, (AROS - is very impressive) live music, cafes and many small special shops as well as big shopping malls. It also has "The old town of Århus". It's an old town within the city, built up as a live museum. Very interesting! But you can also just take a stroll along the the Aarhus river, which runs through the city and has many excellent cafe as well.
From the station you can reach Århus, which is the European Capital of Culture 2017. Actually the whole region, including Viborg, is an integrated part of the European Capital of Culture. Århus has been awarded one of the hottest places to visit in 2017, by Lonely Planet, New York Times, Vogue Magazine, CNN Travel, The Daily Mail, The Independent, and Momondo. Some links:

We had a wonderful week staying in Helle's home. The home is a beautiful open design, with room for two adult couples and two children. The garden in July is simply amazing. The home is in a lovely neighborhood but it looks like you are in a private park filled with flowers and greenery when you look out the windows. The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen had everything needed and everything is beautifully designed and decorated. We enjoyed relaxing in the evenings, but most of our days were spent out and about. It is only about 10 minutes to Viborg, a lovely town with a historic pedestrian center, lots of parks, restaurants, shops and everything you need. In other words, big enough to have everything, but small enough to be easily accessible. Helle's home is perfectly positioned for outings. WIthin a bit more than an hour is BIllund - home of LEGOLAND and many other amusement water parks. There is also Aarhus, with amazing museums (we could have spend all day in the Moesgard Museum learning about the lives of Iron Age people and Vikings) and yet another amusement park (Tivoli Friheden). We visited Randers Rainforest (three domed zoo with fabulous environments and plants/animals), Monsted Limestone Mines where you are free to explore the caves on your own, and many many playgrounds. Denmark is very child friendly! Best of all it was only about a 5 minute walk from Helle's to a brand new playground on the lake that we visited several times. There is a zipline there, which was being repaired when we visited, We never even made it to the beaches (an hour either direction) and the weather was a bit cool for that. We had no idea how much this part of Denmark had to offer and we would gladly return as there was so much we were unable to do in the week that we visited. Best of all, Helle was so helpful and her entire family welcomed us with an amazing strawberry dessert!!! You will have a wonderful time if you are lucky enough to be able to exchange with Helle and while we had never heard of Viborg, we enjoyed being locals for the time we were there. On behalf of all of our family -- Thank you again Helle and Flemming!
