An allround experience

THE HAERVEJSMARCHEN in Viborg and the activities around it is an international popular total experience with content of nature, culture, history, health, environment, experience and joy of life.

An old tradition is that in Viborg during Haervejsmarch Week leading up to and during the march, a large party arrangement is organized in squares and squares in the old historic town. Thousands of people meet here, like in the good old days when "Snapsting" was held in Viborg. Then people came from all over Jutland to shop and party and perhaps settle some disputes at "Tinge".

Now the name "Snapsting" has been revived and covers a big party in Viborg during Haervejs week.
