Herning is a Danish town in the Midtjylland region, in central Jutland, Denmark. It has a population of 46,000 (2011 estimate). The town was created in the early 19th century when the heath was reclaimed for farmland. Later on, the railway line was built through the town, helping it to grow further. Other industries came to Herning, among them, textile weaving.

Today Herning has diversified its economy. It is the location of Messecenter Herning, the biggest exhibition center in Scandinavia, and hosts numerous trade fairs. The town also has a number of tourist attractions which I will list below.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
