Skjern Reberbane (Skjern Ropery)

Skjern Ropery is one of Denmark’s few preserved original roperies. Here, they have made rope for centuries. The ropery is a peculiar house that looks very small at first sight. It is only a few meters wide - but about 100 m long!

The ropery is open by appointment only. Call the museum administration on 97 36 23 43 for an appointment. 
Fun fact: A ropemaker often walks 8-12 km on a workday - and mostly backwards!
