Trækstien

The Trækstien extends for 74 kilometers from Silkeborg to Randers, following the natural course of the Gudenåen River through diverse landscapes and wetlands.

During the 1800s, the path served as a transportation route for workers who pulled barges loaded with goods from Silkeborg paper factory to Randers harbor.

Multiple preserved barge taverns line the trail, offering traditional Danish meals and insights into the historical commercial activities along the river.

The trail divides into five sections with dedicated maps, and visitors should check water levels before hiking, as certain areas flood during wet seasons.

The Facebook group Farbar Gudenå maintains current information about water conditions, allowing hikers to plan their journey based on real-time updates.
