Silkeborg

The town of Silkeborg lies at the heart of the surrounding lake district of the same name. Silkeborg’s top attraction is Aqua, Denmark’s largest water park, promising fun for the whole family. For those who enjoy being active, Silkeborg offers year-round skiing on an artificial-snow slope, for example. As well as cycling and canoeing, visitors can take a leisurely trip aboard the vintage Hjejlen, a paddle steamer dating from 1861, or feel even closer to nature by fishing in the lakes with the appropriate permit. Silkeborg is also a tempting holiday destination for golfers. Short breaks, conference packages and business trips to Silkeborg can be wonderfully combined with a golf holiday in Jutland. Special package deals and other arrangements are offered not only by hotels in Silkeborg, but sometimes also by holiday-home owners in Silkeborg and the Silkeborg Lake District.
Once a year, music adds to the appeal of a holiday in Silkeborg. Every year at the end of June, jazz fills the lakes around Silkeborg. The sounds of the Riverboat Jazz Festival linger in your ears long after you have set off for the Danish Baltic coast.
