シルケボーの天然記念物・トップ14

Let someone say that Denmark is (only) flat.

Himmelbjerget is a 147 m high hill in Denmark between the towns of Ry and Silkeborg. Until more precise land surveys were carried out in 1847, it was considered the highest elevation in Denmark. Its summit is a popular tourist destination because of the beautiful view over Lake Jul.

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.

Many benches by the lake, inviting. 👍

great view

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

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
