Visit Skanderborg, Ry and surrounding areas

The Lakelands is known for beautiful nature with lakes and forests and Himmelbjerget, a 147-meter high mountain with spectacular view over the lakes and hills around the area. The landscape is magical, giving you a peace of mind, any time of the year. At the top of the Himmelbjerg Mountain, you can learn about the fascinating story of James Steensen Blichers, the big people’s meeting and the birth of democracy in Denmark.

Søhøjlandet is a lot more than just Himmelbjerget, you will also find quality experiences within art and culture, gastronomy and shopping. You can also go hiking, cycling and on boat trips, the options are endless.
