A good hiking and cycling path on a former railway embankment. Artifacts are still visible along the path.

Tange Sø is Denmark's largest man-made lake. It belongs to the Tange power station and was created in 1920 by damming the river Gudenå.

The impressive Tangeværket power station was built between 1918 and 1920 at a location where the Gudenå has a natural gradient of about 10 metres. In addition, the Gudenå was raised slightly and a large artificial lake was formed, which supplies the power station with sufficient water.
