General presentation
Silkeborg et les lacs
Forests, lakes and gentle hills around the Gudenå offer one of the best outdoor terrains in the country.
The discovery of Silkeborg and the lakes revolve around Himmelbjerget, Museum Jorn and Almindsø. The stay thus alternates between the shores and lakes, forests, riverscapes and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Himmelbjerget
Himmelbjerget is one of Denmark's most famous viewpoints despite its modest altitude. The climb through the forest leads to a vast panorama of lakes and hills that surprises a country often imagined entirely flat.
Museum
Museum Jorn
Museum Jorn presents the free and energetic work of Asger Jorn alongside artists who have fed her. The rooms remain accessible and the visit brings a real cultural dimension to a stay dominated by the lakes.
Place indismissible
Almindsø
Almindsø is a clear lake lined with forest just south of Silkeborg. The beaches, the circular path and the pontoons allow you to devote both a quick swim and a quiet half-day.
