Slåensø Lake is located directly south of Borre Lake in the Silkeborg Sønderskov forest area. Due to the limited water supply, the water is very clean. The lake is situated in very hilly terrain and is a popular tourist destination, with Kongestolen (82 m high) located directly south of the lake, offering a beautiful view to the north. Denmark's tallest tree, a Douglas fir over 50 m tall, stands nearby. A good hiking trail leads around the entire lake.

The highest natural elevation in Denmark at 170.86 m.

Nice place that I have used since I was very small. You can look over to Himmelbjerg from the top of Sindbjerg and Stoubjerg

Thoroughness down to the last centimeter also exists in Denmark. Møllehøj has been the highest mountain in Denmark since 2005. You can see a millstone, as there used to be a mill here. Today you look across the country or into the adjacent cowshed. More impressive is the Ejer Bavnehøj with its lookout tower, 200 m away. However, it is now only the third highest mountain in Denmark.

The Old Oak / The Oak of Christian IV Christian IV's Oak, The King's Oak or The Old Oak are some of the names given to a large, free-standing tree in the easternmost part of Dyrehaven Skanderborg. Over time, the tree has been the center of many events. After the visit of Hereditary Prince Ferdinand and Princess Caroline to Dyrehaven in 1839, there was interest in including the area around the old oak as a party venue. The following year, the first summer festival with drinking and forest ball took place in a decorated dance tent next to the property. It was the start of a rich entertainment life in Dyrehaven. In 1852, confectioner Brandt built a permanent dance floor and a modest inn barn, which was continued by an active social club; forest association. Every Sunday during the season there was dancing and illumination for a fee of 24 shillings for men while entry was free for ladies. At the end of the 19th century, the fairground at the Old Oak lost its importance with the construction of the pavilion. Nowadays the oak tree still stands prominently and in the middle of the festival ground when the ”Smukfest” takes place in the forest in August. But is it correct to name the oak of King Chr.4? In 2009 a dendrochronological study was carried out on the tree, the annual rings were counted and it was concluded that the tree was planted between 1620 and 1719. King Chr.4 lived from 1577 to 1648, so it is not unrealistic that the tree grew in the last years of the king's life. Source: Skanderborg Leksikon

Sindbjerg and Stoubjerg are quite sizeable hill formations with two heather-covered peaks and are situated in a heath area north of Sejs and the lake Borre Sø, about 5 km south-east of Silkeborg. Sindbjerg is 103 m high and Stoubjerg 99 m high. From the top you have a wide view, especially to the south and south-east. You can see all the lakes between Silkeborg and Himmelberg. Sindbjerg and Stovbjerg, like Himmelberg, are known as 'false hills' - hills that formed when the ice eroded away the surrounding landscape. The first part of the word Sindbjerg comes from the Old Norse 'sinder', meaning 'slag' (ash), the by-product of charcoal manufacture. This may indicate that the trees on the hill were once used to make charcoal. The first part of the word Stoubjerg means "room". So there may have been a dolmen on or near the hill, or perhaps there was a legend or the idea of a dwelling place for subterranean beings associated with the hill. This would go well with another legend, according to which it is the tomb of the giant Bark. There is a memorial stone on Sindbjerg for the editor Sophus Sørensen and his commitment to protecting the area. A total of 56 hectares are now under nature protection. This is to ensure that the hills will continue to be overgrown with heather in the future and that the view of e.g. the sky mountain is preserved. In addition to heather, the dominant plants are species such as crowberry, cranberry, tormentil, broom, juniper, aspen, hair hair and various types of moss and lichen. https://www.visitsilkeborg.de/silkeborg/erkunden/sindbjerg-und-stoubjerg-gdk604578

The passage grave Grønhøj von Rugballe (also called Rugballegaard after the nearby manor house) is a well restored passage grave west of Horsens and southwest of the Bygholm Lake (Danish Bygholm Sø) in Jutland in Denmark. The large stone grave dates from the Neolithic around 3500–2800 BC. And is a megalithic plant of the funnel beaker culture (TBK). The passage grave (Danish: Jættestue) is a form of Neolithic megalithic systems, which consists of a chamber and a structurally separated, lateral passage. This form can be found primarily in Denmark, Germany and Scandinavia, as well as occasionally in France and the Netherlands. Neolithic monuments are an expression of the culture and ideology of Neolithic societies. Their origin and function are considered to be the hallmarks of social development. The round burial mound of Grønhøj, excavated in 1940, is around 20 m in diameter and 2.75 m high. The mound of earth is bordered by 60 curb stones about 1.0 m high. The approximately four meter long entrance to the chamber is in the southeast. It is about 1.0 m high and 0.7 m wide, and consists of four bearing stones on the southwest and three on the northeast side. The corridor is covered by three capstones. The chamber consists of eight bearing stones and two cap stones. It measures approximately 3.5 × 2.75 m and is between 1.5 and 1.7 m high. The spaces between the orthostats of the chamber and the corridor and the gaps between the curbs of the hill are filled with intermediate masonry. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gr%C3%B8nh%C3%B8j_von_Rugballe

Lake Slåensø is located directly south of Lake Borre Sø in the Silkeborg Sønderskov forest area. An outflow via the Millingbæk connects it to the Borre Sø. The lake was dammed up to about 2 m in order to be able to use the water power that once powered a bone mill, a sawmill and a wooden shoe factory at the mouth of the Millingbæk. The Slåensø is up to 12 m deep. It is fed exclusively by a few ochre-containing springs on the south side, at the mouths of which you can see swampy, red deposits in several places. The limited water supply means the water is very clean. The lake also owes its name to the springs. It was originally called Slaugen Sø, with "Slaugen" coming from the Old Norse word "Slagna", which means "to flow". The lake is situated in very hilly terrain and is a popular tourist destination. The Kongestolen (82 m high) is located directly south of the lake, offering a beautiful view to the north. Nearby stands Denmark's tallest tree, a Douglas fir over 50 m tall. A good hiking trail leads around the entire lake. You can download a map of the lake area here. www.visitsilkeborg.de/silkeborg/erkunden/der-slaensee-gdk604710
