The bathing facility

The old bathing pools are still partially preserved. In the 1930s there was a bathing establishment here, very close to the source of the Gudenå.

Source of the Gudenå River

Highlight • River

The source of the Gudenå, Denmark's longest river, is what you'll find here at this spring. What makes this spot truly unique is that the source is located in the same area as the source of the Skjern River, the country's largest river by water volume. It's a fascinating experience to see two of Denmark's most important rivers begin their journeys just a few hundred meters apart.

Source of the Skjern River

Highlight • River

Make a stop at the humble source of the Skjern River, Denmark's largest river by volume. Here, in the quiet area of Tinnet Krat, you'll find the small spring that gives rise to this powerful waterway. It's a truly fascinating experience to see the beginning of such a major river, and it's a key highlight for anyone hiking the Hærvejen route. The area is a fantastic spot to reflect on the immense natural forces that shape the landscape.

Rørbæk Lake

Highlight • Lake

Rørbæk Lake is beautifully situated near Vester Mølle and is surrounded by protected forests and hilly terrain. There are good opportunities for outdoor activities, such as fishing trips, hikes, and bike rides, and it's the perfect place for your next family outing.

You can catch pike, bream, and other freshwater fish in the lake. Skjern Å flows through Rørbæk Lake, Kulsø Lake, and Hastrup Lake, which lie like pearls on a string in the beautiful nature of Central Jutland. The fishing lakes in the area are impressive and large, offering enough challenges for several days of fishing for all ages.

The lake was formed by the melting of a huge block of ice in the valley floor, and the water was previously very clean. Over time, there was a lot of pollution, but in recent years the water quality has improved, and plants are growing again on the lake bottom.

VisitHerning provides a brochure about the area with tips and instructions for activities, hikes, and more.
