Conquer this towering hill of a staggering 147 metres, and feel like a king! The name "Himmelbjerget" translates as "The Sky Mountain", and it is among the highest summits in all of Denmark, located in the lake high-lands region with several hilltops of similar scale. Himmelbjerget is not the highest natural point (which is assigned to the nearby spot of Møllehøjen at 170 m), but it is the most popular by far, and the sharp drop towards the lake immediately north of the brick tower on the top is indeed impressive (no kidding). The hill, and surrounding area is of great historical importance in Denmark, as the birthplace of early modern democracy in the 1800s, and it offers a beautiful nature hike. There are kiosks, restaurants, toilets next to the top.
Himmelbjerget is a hill located between Ry and Silkeborg, Denmark in the area known as Søhøjlandet.
