Fishing in Herning Municipality
Background story
One late Friday afternoon in the year 2000, two employees from Herning Municipality were enjoying an after-work beer. In front of them lay a map with drawings of a large artificial lake to be excavated.
During that Friday afternoon, the two sketched out a design for the lake, recreational landscape, harborfront, and space for 500 homes. Thus, Fuglsang Lake was born. The excavation took place between 2003 and 2005, and the lake was inaugurated in 2006.
