From Arhus, you'll head to mid-Jutland -- a hilly area of dynamic scenery, home to a chain of beautiful blue lakes surrounded by lush forest.
Stop at Himmelbjerget (Sky Mountain) at 450 feet above sea level. For an even more spectacular view, climb to the top of the gazebo (optional).
You will visit Silkeborg, a small town with big-time charm. Walk through the narrow streets and bustling squares past medieval houses and tiny shops. Stop at the local museum for a chance to see the fascinating Tolland Man -- a body that is estimated to date back to 200 BC. This rather old fellow was found in a peat bog in 1952 and has been a slightly gruesome source of great fascination for visitors ever since.
