Himmelbjerget

The lakes of Silkeborg

Himmelbjerget

Located roughly in the middle of Jutland, slightly further east than west, is a mountain that reaches right up to the sky! Every year, 300,000 people visit Himmelbjerget and the beautiful surrounding countryside. If you are touring Central Jutland, you have to visit Himmelbjerget.

Is Himmelbjerget Denmark's highest point?

It hardly comes as a surprise to anyone that Denmark is a flat country. Of course we have hills all over the country, but you have to look hard to find mountains. Maybe that's why Himmelbjerget appears so high? When you stand on top of the mountain you are 147 metres above sea level. Up until 1847, Himmelbjerget was believed to be the highest point in Denmark until a nationwide survey dispelled this assumption. It was discovered that Møllehøj, not far from Skanderborg, actually takes the title of Denmark's highest point with its height of 170 m.
