Give is known as a town of sculptures – 75 sculptures adorn the townscape. The unique natural surroundings of Give can be experienced by bicycle or on hiking tours along the Ancient Road, a historic Jutland thoroughfare through millennia. Among the highlights of the area is the 5-star rated attraction, GIVSKUD ZOO (safari park).
Close by you find the lake Rørbæk Sø. The soft rolling downs of the so-called Jutland Ridge are where Denmark’s two largest rivers – Skjernåen and Gudenåen – have their spring within just a few hundred metres of each other. Tinnet Krat is home to pristine woodlands of primeval oak forest.
At Skjern Å Kanofart by Rørbæk Sø you can rent canoes for short or long trips along the Skjern Å. Here you can also find a large natural lake with put & take angling.

Give's history
Give Church was erected in the 12th century close by a sacred spring. The village of Give has since expanded and grew to prominence in 1892 when the Vejle-Give railway was opened. The local heritage museum, Museum Give, relates the story of local moorland farming of yore.
