Klostermølle

Short description of the route

The first part of the trip - to Ry - could rightly be themed as the medieval route, as you pass several important medieval sites. Klostermølle is located where Voer Kloster was in the Middle Ages, and Sct. Søren Church in Gl. Ry was an important pilgrimage destination in the late Middle Ages. If you walk a few kilometers to the east, you'll come to Øm Kloster, which today is also a monastery museum. Note that the route from Emborg Bro is signposted as Vandreruten Århus - Silkeborg. Between Ry and Silkeborg you can walk both north and south of the lakes.
