Himmelbjerget

Himmelbjerget

Himmelbjerget ("The Heaven Mountain" or "The Sky Mountain") is a hill located in Ry municipality, Denmark. With a height of 147 meters it is one of the highest points, and commonly celebrated as the highest point, of elevation in Denmark.

The high hill is a popular destination for its beautiful nature and magnificent views. One can sail to "Himmelbjerget" from Ry, or from Silkeborg on the historic steamship "Hjejlen" ("The Golden Plover").

On top of the hill is a 25.1 meter tall tower that was erected to honor King Frederik VII and his role in giving the Danish people a constitution in 1849. Close to the top are more monuments, most honoring individuals, but also one to commemorate women's right to vote in 1915.

The Hotel Himmelbjerget, formerly Hotel Julsø, is the highest located hotel in Denmark, and displays historic memorabilia from the area. It used to house a museum dedicated to Jodle Birge, Danish country-western entertainer.
