Hjerl Hede Frilandsmuseum is a historic village that is devoted to recreate traditional life style that the Danish villagers used to live. Hjerl Hede Frilandsmuseum includes several workshops, stone age village and several museums including Skovmuseet and Mosebrugsmuseet. It is a nice day trip destinations. Hjerl Hede Frilandsmuseum ethnographic museum also has a lot of interesting activities for children that can keep them entertained while you stay here.

Most of the area where the museum is located was bought in 1910 by Hans Peter Hjerl Hansen (1870-1946), from whom he has taken his name. The museum was run as a private museum by the Hjerl Foundation until 1979, after which it became a self-owned, cultural-historical special museum. There are buildings from all over Denmark and some copies e.g. of Stone Age houses, based on finds from Bornholm.
