When camping with children in Silkeborg, you can explore the river landscapes along the Gudenå by bike or on horseback, for example. Travellers interested in culture will also be delighted by the historic castles and the brick old town. Camping by the sea is possible after a short trip to the Baltic coast, 40 kilometres away.
What makes Silkeborg and its campsites so special is the idyllic location in the Midtjylland hinterland. Away from the large bathing beaches, travellers enjoy a high degree of peace and quiet here and can relax by one of the inland waters such as Lake Julsø and Lake Brassø.
If you want to go to the sea, it only takes a few minutes. The harbour city of Aarhus is just 40 km away, with enchanting beaches along its edge. The town is also a favourable starting point for sailing trips on the Kattegat. Silkeborg itself is very family-friendly and offers attractions such as a large aquarium and an exciting bunker museum with installations from the Second World War.
To get to one of the campsites in Silkeborg, you need to travel north through Germany. A classic stopover on the way to Jutland is the metropolis of Hamburg. Here, Hanseatic flair and a wide range of cultural attractions await travellers. If you feel like it, you can go out on the Reeperbahn in the evening. During the day, harbour tours and a visit to St Michael's Church are recommended. 330 km from the city on the Elbe to the actual destination. The journey first takes you through Schleswig-Holstein. At Flensburg you finally cross the border into Denmark. Further stopovers are Kolding and Vejle. A short detour to Legoland in Billund is recommended for families, while alternative routes include the ferries from Rostock and Fehmarn. However, the route via Schleswig-Holstein is generally faster and cheaper. From Berlin, you should expect to travel a total of 600 kilometres to your destination. Cologne is around 740 km, Frankfurt am Main 820 km and Munich 1,100 km from the Silkeborg campsites.
Around Silkeborg, lake and heathland landscapes await hikers, cyclists, kayaking fans and anglers.
The river Gudenå and the lakes around Silkeborg offer an excellent area for excursions by canoe or kayak. These unique water landscapes with their rich forests along the banks can be explored in a tranquil setting. Many campsites in Silkeborg even offer their own canoe hire service.
Silkeborg is surrounded by one of the largest forest areas in Denmark. In addition to the picturesque forests, the banks of the River Gudenå are one of the most beautiful destinations for hikers. You can follow the course of the river to the tranquil lakes in the south. Wonderful wetlands and vast heathland await hikers on a tour.
In the lakes south of Silkeborg, holidaymakers can fish for themselves and land delicious freshwater fish for dinner. The region is home to perch, zander, pike and roach. With a fishing licence, it is possible to fish in Lake Julsee, Lake Brassee, Lake Almind and Lake Lille.
If you spend your camping holiday in Silkeborg, you should try some of the Danish specialities. On Jutland in particular, you can look forward to fresh, flavoursome meat from organic farms. The Danish roast pork with rind is a real feast. This delicacy is served with potatoes and brown gravy.
Fresh catches from the North and Baltic Seas are served from the coast. Baked plaice fillets are just as much a classic as fried cod and smoked eel. Gourmets also treat themselves to tasty North Sea crabs. Another recommended snack is smørrebrød, a hearty slice of wholemeal bread topped with herring and egg yolk, among other things.
The mild to warm months between May and October are ideal for a varied active holiday with camping in Silkeborg. In midsummer, average maximum temperatures of 23 degrees Celsius are reached. Occasionally the thermometer reads even higher. If you want to go swimming on the coast, the months of July and August are best with temperatures of up to 18 degrees Celsius in the Baltic Sea. In spring and autumn, you can explore the region around Silkeborg by bike or on horseback at temperatures between 12 and 18 degrees Celsius. Hikers also get their money's worth.
