Himmelbjerget Tower and View over Lake Julsø

Highlight • Monument

View from Himmelbjerget over the beautiful landscape.
With a height of 147m one of the highest peaks in Denmark.

The landscape was created after the last ice age in which the meltwater has burrowed into the earth layers. Lake Julsö at the foot of Himmelbjerget is located in a glacial valley.

Ry Mill

Highlight • Monument

The name Ry Mølle first appears in 1578. Since then, a lot of written information about Ry Mølle has appeared.
'
The information mainly relates to the farmers' duty to use the mill, the miller's duty to repair the bridges, and the miller's right to fish in the adjacent lakes and eel boxes.

In 1881 the grain mill was shut down and a wood mill was built to produce raw materials for paper production. From 1915, the mill's hydropower was also used to generate electricity. In 1917 Ry Mølles Fabrikker was founded with the aim of leasing and operating Ry Mølle's agriculture, eel fishing, wooden shoe production and power station.

In 1977 Ry Mølle's main building and the old main building were converted into residential buildings.
