September 22, 2025, Østre Strandbad at Ørnsø Lake

You can spend the whole day here. Bathing, swimming, canoeing, hiking, and of course, mountain biking :-)

The parking lot was relatively full, as there's so much to do at this hotspot. A swimming lake, a barbecue hut with restrooms, and a shower house. The mountain bike trail, and so on... Parking is permitted on the shoulder of the main road in both directions, which was very convenient for us with our Sprinter van.

Østre Søbad at Almindsø near Silkeborg is one of Denmark's cleanest lakes. Here are two round, impressive bathing jetties right next to each other with a children's pool and facilities such as changing rooms, lovely benches, toilets and a sauna.

A beautiful forest path takes you along the shore of Borre Sø. The trees open up again and again and offer you a wonderful view over the lake in the Lake District.
