From the 73-meter-high hill, you have a wonderful view of Lake Brassø and the forest area around Silkeborg. The hill has had its current name since 1852, when King Frederik VII and his wife Louise visited the city of Silkeborg and the hill with the wonderful view. The two of them seem to have liked it up here, after all, the hill has borne the countess's name ever since.
