Autumn memories iwith the Hjejlen steamboat in Silkeborg

Machen Sie in den Herbstferien eine Segeltour mit der Hjejlen im Søhøjlandet, wo Sie die farbenfrohen Baumkronen und ein wunderschönes maritimes Erlebnis inmitten des schönen Herbstes genießen können, wenn warme Farbtöne und historische Boote den Alltag in Ihre nächste Urlaubserinnerung verwandeln.

Autumn magic with the paddle steamer Hjejlen

Experience a beautiful autumn holiday in the Lake District Søhøjlandet with a special boat trip aboard the Hjejlen or one of the Hjejleselskabet's historic boats.

The Hjejlen is not only an icon in Silkeborg, but also the world's oldest original coal-fired paddle steamer still in operation. Sailing with Hjejlen is like travelling back in time – and during the autumn holidays, you can enjoy the whole experience spiced with the golden colours of the forest.

An experience for the whole family

During the trip, you can enjoy your own food, while hot drinks and cold refreshments can be purchased on board. Children up to 11 years of age sail free with a paying adult (up to three children per adult). It is an ideal excursion where the whole family can relax and enjoy the tranquillity of the lake.
