Gudenåstien - from Klostermølle to Ry

From Klostermølle you can walk north along the Gudenå trail to Gl. Ry - an important medieval pilgrimage destination - and on to Ry. Note that from Emborg Bro the path is signposted Vandreruten Århus - Silkeborg.

Klostermølle

Short description of the route

The trip 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 and major 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 museum. Note that the route from Emborg Bro is signposted as Vandreruten Århus - Silkeborg.
