Ry Mill

Highlight • Monument

The name Ry Mølle first appears in 1578. Since then, a lot of written information about Ry Mølle has appeared.
'
The information mainly relates to the farmers' duty to use the mill, the miller's duty to repair the bridges, and the miller's right to fish in the adjacent lakes and eel boxes.


In 1881 the grain mill was shut down and a wood mill was built to produce raw materials for paper production. From 1915, the mill's hydropower was also used to generate electricity. In 1917 Ry Mølles Fabrikker was founded with the aim of leasing and operating Ry Mølle's agriculture, eel fishing, wooden shoe production and power station.

In 1977 Ry Mølle's main building and the old main building were converted into residential buildings.

Slåensø Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Consider a walk around Slåensø.
The lake is situated in a very hilly terrain. It is a popular destination with Kongestolen (82 m high) immediately south of Slåensø, offering a fine view to the north. Nearby stands Denmark's tallest tree, a Douglas fir, which is over 50 m high.

Nordskoven stretches across a wide headland in the south of Silkeborg. The landscape is characterized by hills covered with beech, spruce and Douglas fir trees. The forest provides a habitat for numerous birds, such as various species of woodpecker.
