Experience the Bike Route, Kulturringen, Across the Favrskov Region

Ride Your Bike From Pøt Mølle – Gudenåen

Along this route between Pøt Mølle and Gudenåen, you pass through rolling landscape as well as vast, open fields, meadow, forests, marshland and heath. The landscape holds many traces from ancient times, and people have inhabited the area ever since antiquity. The route ends at Hagenstrupvej close to Gudenåen.

Pøt Mølle is found at the base of the Pøt Mølle hill. The hill has a 9.7 percent gradient, so your legs will surely be put to the test. The beautiful river valley, Granslev Ådal, is home to very interesting historical sites, just as you will pass Frijsenborg manor by Granslev Å, which is a great trout habitat. The route cuts across the closed down Gjernbane railway, which runs from Resenbro near Silkeborg to Laurbjerg. As the car-free path has been tarmacked, it is a great and safe place to let your children ride their bikes.
