Himmelbjerget ("The Sky Mountain" or "The Mountain of Heaven") is a hill located between Ry and Silkeborg, Denmark in the area known as Søhøjlandet. With a height of 147 m (482 ft), Himmelbjerget is one of the highest natural points in the Danish landscape. The hill and surrounding area has been a center for various gatherings and celebrations for more than 200 years and in 1875, a red brick tower was erected at the top. #thehistory Himmelbjerget grew to fame in Denmark during the 19th century, as people gathered here to admire the magnificent views and celebrate the birth of the Danish nation. On top of the hill is a 25.1 m tall tower, that was erected in 1875 to honour King Frederik VII and his role in giving the Danish people the country's first constitution in 1849, thereby ending the preceding era of absolute monarchy.[2] Close to the top are more monuments, most honouring individuals, but also one to commemorate women's right to vote in 1915. In those days, several steamboats began ferrying visitors back and forth to Himmelbjerget, from various destinations across Julsø and The Silkeborg Lakes. This tradition is still alive and the historic steamship Hjejlen ("The Golden Plover"), carries passengers here from the towns of Ry and Silkeborg. #himmelbjerget #visithorsens #visitdenmark #mytraveladventure #familygoal #familyadventure #jakobsenfamily #jakobsensfamily #instagram #instafamily (at Himmelbjerget) https://www.instagram.com/_mytraveladventure_/p/Bwkm670n5bD/?igshid=m99uot5r9lu7
