In the beautiful landscape of Favrskov, you can find protected burial mounds from the Stone Age, walk along charming streams and through the protected Alling Ådal valley with its marshes and lakes, which are also home to many different animal and plant species. Here you’ll find forests, meadows and vast agricultural land – and, not least, a romantic Baroque castle from the 12th century: Clausholm Castle.

Favrskov is therefore not just a place you pass through on your way between the larger towns, but an area where many choose to settle. The combination of nature, close-knit local communities, good connections to the larger towns and a strong local identity makes the municipality an attractive place to live – and an ideal place to experience the quieter and more authentic side of East Jutland.

Nature is precisely one of Favrskov’s greatest strengths. The landscape is characterised by rolling fields, forests, river valleys and small villages, which together create a classic East Jutland landscape that invites outdoor activities, cycling and walking. In several places, rivers run through the landscape, including the Gudenå – Denmark’s longest river – which winds its way through the area and contributes to both its natural and cultural history.

The Gudenå Valley also runs through Favrskov at Ulstrup and Granslev Ådal, formed by the Ice Age, which left clear traces in the landscape here. There are over 20 different species of fish in the Gudenå, so there is something for everyone and good chances of landing a big catch.
