Easy hikes and walks around Sorø Sø

Nice little marketplace, beautiful houses and some restaurants or cafés.

Small boat, beautiful lake, road with cycle path.

In Grydebjerg Forest, you’ll walk through idyllic, partly hilly terrain. If you listen carefully, you’re sure to hear some of the birds that live in the forest. You can go for a walk or a jog here.

Here at Lake Sorø, the forest meets the water. One moment you’re walking through the trees, the next you’re looking out over the lake.

Beautiful old church with a lovely, large, and well-kept churchyard/cemetery. Unfortunately, I was out with my dog and couldn't get inside to take more photos. But you're supposed to get a nice view from up there.

Here, below the Kongebroen, is the inflow from Sorø Lake into Pedersborg Lake. A perfect spot to give your kids and four-legged friends a break and a little refreshment. Upper on the road, there's an information board about the old bridge.

Beautiful, large lawn with a swimming area. There are two seating areas and a bench if you don't want to lie on the grass. There's also a trash can, and even though there was a graduation party here yesterday, it looks exemplary and well-maintained. The water is very easy and shallow to enter, making it a great spot for cooling off even for non-swimmers. It gets deeper after 2-3 meters, so keep an eye on children at all times.
