Gudenåstien soon to be completed

In these weeks, many of the Gudenå Trail's sub-projects are being finalized by the 11 project partners. See current examples below.

Project "Gudenåsti - from source to fjord" has entered its final phase

I al fald når det gælder selve stien. Fortsat mangler informationstavler og piktogrammer samt andre delprojekter som f.eks. foldere og dynamisk formidling af farbarhed. Herunder kan du se helt friske billeder fra de mange aktiviteter langs hele åen. Og flere er på vej. Så hold øje med siden her og Gudenåens facebook-side.

Viewing hut at the source of Gudenåen

The Triangle Region Nature Agency has almost finished building a viewing hut at the source of the river Gudenå. The viewing hut is located where there used to be a refreshment pavilion in connection withthe water park established by an enterprising farmer in the 1930s. In addition, an approximately 1 km. long route has been built between the two iconic springs – Gudenåens and Skjernåens – and viewing platforms at both springs, making the area more accessible.

The Gudenå Trail in Vejle and Hedensted municipalities will be connected

Hedensted Municipality is nearing completion of the Gudenå Trail at Jomfruhale about 4 km west of Tørring. The path will be connected to the already established path on the Vejle side. This means that you can now walk dry-shod from the source of the river Gudenå to Tørring. Well, almost. Unfortunately, there is still a wet stretch between Jomfruhale and Tørring. There is a case in the House of Boards that will decide whether the preservation order allows the path to be improved here.

In the photo, Mikkel from Skovlykke Fritidshuse is inspecting the work. Close by, the Danish Nature Agency Trekantsområdet is erecting a shelter.

New toilet at Bredvadmøllevej

Horsens has completed another sub-project – a new toilet where Bredvadmøllevej crosses the river Gudenåen. This means that Horsens Municipality has completed all its sub-projects in the Gudenåsti project. The toilet will be part of the canoe landing area that will be established in connection with the major watercourse project at Bredvad Lake in Vestbirk in 2026. The toilet will be locked over the winter and until the inauguration of the trail on 28 March 2026.

Groundbreaking ceremony at Skimminghøj on December 17

On December 17 at 12 noon, Skanderborg Municipality will hold a topping-out ceremony for Skimminghøj Bådhus in Ry. The boathouse is part of an upgrade of Skimminghøj Teltplads and the largest of Skanderborg Municipality’s sub-projects. You can read more about the project via this link.

Himmelbjergruten and Trækstien are now connected in Silkeborg

Gudenåstien består blandt andet af Himmelbjergruten og Trækstien. De to populære ruter mødes i Danmarks Outdoorhovedstad – Silkeborg. Og nu er de forbundet ved afmærkning – fra havnen i Silkeborg og til Andetorvet, hvor Trækstien begynder. Dermed indgår de i den samlede Gudenåsti – fra kilde til fjord.

Improvements at Kongensbro

Silkeborg Kommune har foretaget udbedringer på strækningen fra Kongensbro til kommunegrænsen til Favrskov. Det vil sige, at adgangen mellem Kongensbro og Gudenåstien mod Bjerringbro er blevet bedre, ligesom det er blevet lettere at besøge attraktionen Høj Stene – en rekonstruktion af en af Nordeuropas største stensætninger fra jernalderen.

The Gudenå Trail at Langå

I Randers Kommune har man blandt andet forhøjet og forbedret stien omkring Langå. Billedet her er øst for Den Gamle jernbanebro på vej mod Langå Egeskov.

The Gudenå Trail between Fladbro and Stevnstrup

Mellem Fladbro vest for Randers og Stevnstrup er Trækstien, som er en del af Gudenåstien, forbedret – på nogle strækninger, som her, ved anlæggelse af træstier.
