Bølling Sø is one of Denmark's highest lakes. It lies on the watershed in central Jutland, 10 kilometers west of Silkeborg and northeast of Engesvang.[1] The lake is an 835-hectare dead-ice hole that receives its water from direct or indirect precipitation.

Bølling Sø Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Bølling Sø is a remarkable place with a fascinating history. Once a vast lake, it was drained in the 19th century to create farmland and peat bogs. In one of these bogs, the world-famous Tollund Man was discovered. In a major and successful conservation effort, the lake was recreated in 2005. The area today is a beautiful example of a restored landscape, with a large, shallow lake at its centre.
