Gl. Rye Kro

Stay in the most beautiful surroundings in the lake highlands nearby Aarhus. Even Hans Chr. Andersen was inspired in his work from the region here.

Once Gl. Rye was an important town in Denmark, and in the Middle Ages it was a centre for culture and politics in Denmark: it was here at the famous spring Skt. Sørens Kilde that a large market emerged where both rich and poor people gathered from the whole of Jutland.

There has probably also been an inn here in the 1500s, but the present inn can only be traced back to approximately 400 years ago. The inn has been restored with a gentle touch and today it appears with all modern conveniences without damaging the old atmosphere.

Excellent facilities & food

The rooms are situated in a new wing and they all have bath, toilet and colour TV. There are also in-door swimming pool, solarium and fitness room. Moreover lovely sitting rooms with TV and video in the inn itself and two restaurants with a large menu.


The area invite for activities

The location in the lake highlands invites to excursions to Silkeborg and to the magnificent nature on and nearby the 147 m high hill Himmelbjerg. Jutland s largest lake Mossø has a rich bird and fish life, and thus there are fine possibilities of fishing, but also of cycling and hiking following the signposted paths in the wood and along the lake.
