From the 73-meter-high hill, you have a wonderful view of Lake Brassø and the forest area around Silkeborg. The hill has had its current name since 1852, when King Frederik VII and his wife Louise visited the city of Silkeborg and the hill with the wonderful view. The two of them seem to have liked it up here, after all, the hill has borne the countess's name ever since.

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

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
