The Towpath
The towpath has a story all of its own that stems from the days before the Silkeborg area was accorded preferential trading rights. Men used to pull the heavily-loaded barges down the Gudenå River .
Towpath: Randers-Silkeborg
Warning - On rainy days there may be a lot of mud on the Towpath.
