Here’s a bit of inspiration for your excursion by land and water in the Lake District:
Walk out, sail back, or stay overnight in the forest along the way.
There are plenty of beautiful routes around the lakes of Silkeborg, and Silkeborg itself offers lots of inspiration, such as the “Hiking Routes in the Lake District” – read more at detskerisilkeborg.dk

There are plenty of spots along the lakes of Silkeborg where you can find a cozy, secluded spot to just settle down and enjoy life.
In several places, there are also picnic tables with benches, fire pits, grills, toilets, and shelter areas.
For example, try hopping off at Skyttehuset or Slåensø and explore from there …
Child-friendly bathing spots abound at many of Silkeborg’s lakes. Make a day of it, pack your swimwear, picnic, and set sail…
We recommend hopping off at places like De Små Fisk, where besides a nice “beach” with a fenced swimming area, there are shelters, tent sites, toilets, and a small kiosk. For more adventure and discovery, hop off at Slåensø, take a short walk through the forest, just follow the small stream to the woodland lake Slåensø, which is Denmark’s cleanest lake.
It’s no joke that Silkeborg is called Denmark’s Outdoor Capital. The forests around the city and the lakes cover an area of 224 km2, making it Denmark’s largest forest area.
In the nature around the Silkeborg lakes, during a boat trip, you might be lucky enough to encounter the otter, the white-tailed eagle, the kingfisher, the grey heron, the roe deer, and many others! Keep a close eye on nature when you sail with us – there are great memories ahead.
