One day hilly roundtrips. About 20 km for the entire lake, but options for shorter routes on the west side, with more well-established trails. It is possible to take a dip in the lake at two spots, and the historic inn Niels Bugges Kro rents out rowboats.

From Aarhus, you can take many regional trains a day to Viborg. There are also usually one InterCity train each day which runs all the way from Copenhagen and stops at several other cities like Odense on the way.
