The best dog-friendly hikes and walks in Gjern Bakker

nice varied fun from the campsite and also a nice walk for the dog where he can also go into the water

Well-signposted hiking trail in Nordskoven. The climb is a bit strenuous, but the view is worth it. There is a bench for a rest

Rest area in the forest

Sokær he and meget gammelt vandhul in Nordskoven. Her blev swine i gamle dage sat ud for at æde sig fede i rødder og bog. I can use any of the stilheden and the lave bøgebevoksning omkring søen, hvori the small vandsalamander lever. The har i foråret 2013 foretaget en del renovering af randområdet. The tager is still there, in the complete idyllic ved skovsøen igen indfinder sig, men stedet he dog and besøg værd. Sokær is a very old waterhole in Nordskoven. Pigs used to be released here to feast on roots and beech trees. Today we can enjoy the silence and the low beech trees around the lake, in which the small water salamander lives. In spring 2013, numerous renovation measures were carried out in the area around the lake. It will probably take some time until the forest lake is completely idyllically restored, but the place is still worth a visit

Krarup Andreasen died on February 21, 1945, but the information about the cause of his death is contradictory; it appears that he was shot during a Gestapo action in Aalborg, but also that he committed suicide in connection with a German attempt to arrest him during the action.

Nice place that I have used since I was very small. You can look over to Himmelbjerg from the top of Sindbjerg and Stoubjerg

Sindbjerg and Stoubjerg are quite sizeable hill formations with two heather-covered peaks and are situated in a heath area north of Sejs and the lake Borre Sø, about 5 km south-east of Silkeborg. Sindbjerg is 103 m high and Stoubjerg 99 m high. From the top you have a wide view, especially to the south and south-east. You can see all the lakes between Silkeborg and Himmelberg. Sindbjerg and Stovbjerg, like Himmelberg, are known as 'false hills' - hills that formed when the ice eroded away the surrounding landscape. The first part of the word Sindbjerg comes from the Old Norse 'sinder', meaning 'slag' (ash), the by-product of charcoal manufacture. This may indicate that the trees on the hill were once used to make charcoal. The first part of the word Stoubjerg means "room". So there may have been a dolmen on or near the hill, or perhaps there was a legend or the idea of a dwelling place for subterranean beings associated with the hill. This would go well with another legend, according to which it is the tomb of the giant Bark. There is a memorial stone on Sindbjerg for the editor Sophus Sørensen and his commitment to protecting the area. A total of 56 hectares are now under nature protection. This is to ensure that the hills will continue to be overgrown with heather in the future and that the view of e.g. the sky mountain is preserved. In addition to heather, the dominant plants are species such as crowberry, cranberry, tormentil, broom, juniper, aspen, hair hair and various types of moss and lichen. https://www.visitsilkeborg.de/silkeborg/erkunden/sindbjerg-und-stoubjerg-gdk604578
