Gudenåstien - from Klostermølle to Silkeborg

Short description of the route

The first part of the tour—to Ry—could, with some justification, be described as the “Medieval Route,” since you’ll pass several important medieval sites along the way. Klostermølle is located where Voer Abbey stood in the Middle Ages, and St. Søren’s Church in Gl. Ry was an important and major pilgrimage site in the late Middle Ages. If you walk a few kilometers east, you’ll reach Øm Kloster, which today also serves as 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. Find stage descriptions here.
