Take a boat trip with the shuttle boats or the famous Danish steam boat Hjejlen....which happens to the be worlds oldest steam boat! The boats will moor by our jetty at Skyttehuset, and from here you can take a trip to Silkeborg or to Himmelbjerget. From Himmelbjerget, you can walk back to Skyttehuset along the Julsø lake side. A scienic route which will take you about 1 hour and a bit.

Slåensø is one of the cleanest lakes in Denmark, located only 8 minutes walk from Skyttehusets Camping. Take a brisk walk around the lake (approx. 3 km) or bring your swimming trunks and jump in....it might be a bit nippy...brrrrrrrr...... :)

bike / mountainbike

We have some great bicycle- and mountainbike tracks in the forests around Skyttehusets Camping. If you are not into mountain biking through narrow tracks in hilly forest, you can take a more relaxed trip along the old railway track, better known as the Naturstien Horsens-Silkeborg til Vrads station.

Try your luck with geocaching (treasure hunt in the forest) and find the many hidden treasures :)
