I've been looking forward to this hike for a while. Because of the heat, I only just started hiking. And what can I say: Wow 🤩 a wonderfully varied hike in stunning nature paired with information about the area's history. Well done! I had read beforehand (you do your research 😉) that you could also do the loop by bike. …

Last hike of this vacation. Today we went around Bølling Lake. We did this hike last year. Store Knæs, Silkeruten, and these are among the most beautiful hikes in and around Silkeborg for us.

We were surprised by another light rain shower today. But as long as it's not raining horizontally, everything's fine.
