Short description of the route

On the Gudenå Trail between Silkeborg and Randers, you'll follow in the footsteps of the barge drivers. Along the way you can visit the barge towns of Svostrup, Kongensbro, Ans and Fladbro. You'll pass Tangeværket, the large dam and artificial lake, Høj Stene, which is one of the largest Iron Age ships in Northern Europe. On the northern stretch, you pass the station towns of Bjerringbro, Ulstrup and Langå before reaching Randers. Find stage descriptions here.
