Selected experiences on the route
Hørbylunde Oak Scrub
Hørbylunde, a wonderful ancient oak scrub southwest of Silkeborg, opens the door for you to a world of natural enchantment. Its existence is perched on majestic, undulating slopes, surrounded by dense, low-growing oak trees that sway in harmony with the quiet rustling of the beeches. Here you encounter a landscape where every tree trunk seems to hold centuries of wisdom.
On the modest ground, where the sun's rays only partially pierce the dense canopy, a delicate yet vibrant undergrowth thrives. In the shade of the trees, you can discover both blueberries and eagle ferns. You feel nature's relentless determination to thrive, even in the most humble of places.
And in the midst of it all stands Store Hørbyhøj as a pillar of ancient memories and mystique. The ancient mound, situated in Hørbylunde, sparks curiosity and reminds you of the deep roots of history. Together, the nature in the Oak Scrub and the mound at Hørbylunde create a picturesque scene that invites profound contemplation in the magic of nature.
