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, Give-Egnens Museum, relates the story of local moorland farming of yore. Today the town offers good shopping opportunities.
Givskud Zoo has been awarded 5 stars by the Association of Danish Tourist Attractions, and not without reason. The popular safari park allows visitors to drive through the open habitats of more than 900 animals representing 70 different species from around the world either by safari bus or by private car. Givskud Zoo also features a large playground area, a safari train, pets and farm animals, and much more.
The area around Give is also known for its outstanding natural beauty and good hiking opportunities. 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. Close by you find the lake Rørbæk Sø. Tinnet Krat is home to pristine woodlands of primeval oak forest. The Ancient Road, which served as a Jutland thoroughfare for millennia, is also featured in the area.
The area offers several good restaurants and good accommodations.
