Odden is a very special nature area that extends into the middle of Silkeborg Langsø. The peninsula is an extremely popular area with a footbridge directly from the city centre. The lunch package house in the middle of Odden is also a popular excursion destination for families with children and daycare centres in the city. Odden ist ein ganz besonderes Natuurgebiet, das sich mitten in Silkeborgs Langsø erstreckt. Die Halbinsel ist ein übersichts Beliebte mit einer Fußgängerbrücke direkt vom stensten aus. Das Lunchpackethaus mitten in Odden ist auch ein beliebte Ausflugziel für Familien mit Kindern und Kindertagesstätten in der Stadt.

A large outdoor area for four-legged friends. We've rarely seen such a beautiful area for our beloved pets in Denmark.

From the 73-meter-high hill, you have a wonderful view of Lake Brassø and the forest area around Silkeborg. The hill has had its current name since 1852, when King Frederik VII and his wife Louise visited the city of Silkeborg and the hill with the wonderful view. The two of them seem to have liked it up here, after all, the hill has borne the countess's name ever since.

A beautiful hiking trail takes you along the banks of the Gudenå, Denmark's longest river at 158 kilometers. The Gudenå meanders through the Lake District and is particularly popular with anglers and rowers.
