Ørnsø is one of Silkeborg's most peaceful and scenic gems, beautifully situated in the Lake District Søhøjlandet. The lake is surrounded by forest and hilly terrain, and here you'll find undisturbed tranquillity, beautiful nature experiences and rich wildlife.

Ørnsø is a peaceful destination, ideal for those seeking nature experiences in calm and beautiful surroundings. Here you can fish and enjoy a peaceful break on the shore or an atmospheric walk along the pleasant path that winds its way close to the lake and through the surrounding forest.

Located in the heart of the Lake District Søhøjlandet, Ørnsø has easy access to forest trails, beautiful viewpoints and Silkeborg's many other experiences. This makes it ideal for hikers, nature lovers and families with children who want an active and sensuous holiday in the great outdoors.

Ørnsø differs from many other lakes in the area by its natural and stable water supply from Funder Å in the west and Arnakkekilden in the south - sources that draw water directly from the pure groundwater. This creates a clear and clean lake where you can enjoy both silence and the diversity of nature all year round.
