Goal of the Activity

The goal of this canoeing trip is to provide students with a unique and scenic experience in one of Denmark's most picturesque regions.

Description

Join us on a magical canoeing trip in one of Denmark’s most beautiful regions!

If the weather allows we will paddle to the famous “sky mountain” and enjoy one of the most scenic and idyllic parts of Denmark. Maybe the most idyllic of DK 

We will go together in a bus to the small town Ry, where will hop into a canoe and paddle our way via Gudenåen to Himmelbjerget. Here we will hike to the top of Denmark’s 2nd highest point (breathtaking 147 meters), where we will eat our lunch and enjoy the view 
After this we will canoe back to Ry, where the bus will take us home 

We will paddle an approx. 4 hours in total, so you don’t need to be an elite athlete or paddler to join, but it will require a bit of arm strength 

Please note: If there is too much wind, we will go south instead and not go to Himmelbjerget, but find another nice spot for lunch.
