The Hiking Trail—from Silkeborg to Svostrup

Brief description of the route

The stretch from Silkeborg to Svostrup Kro was renovated in 2016 and 2017. It is approximately 12 kilometers long. Along this stretch, you’ll walk on Denmark’s longest boardwalk—over one kilometer. In several places, you can see the “terraces” created by meltwater as it rushed through the valley toward Randers. During periods of high water in the stream, the Trækstien trail may be flooded.

Cycling is permitted on this stretch—but please be considerate! Combine it with Bike Route 30, which also leads to Svostrup Kro, where you can both eat and stay the night.

This section is the southernmost of the five. See the description of the entire Trækstien trail here, and view the five sections as a PDF at silkeborg.dk.
