Himmelbjerget rises between the towns of Ry and Silkeborg. Until more precise surveys were carried out in 1847, the 147-meter-high mountain was considered Denmark's highest point. From its summit, you have a magnificent view over Lake Jul. The view is particularly good from the 25-meter-high observation tower.
