Trækstien is a place of unique nature experiences, in a varied and unpredictable landscape.
Historically, the trail was created for horses and bargemen, who once pulled great barges filled with goods between the two cities of Silkeborg and Randers. Barge traffic on the River Gudenå had its heyday in Silkeborg after the opening of the paper mill in 1845. Back then, it was the only way of transporting large quantities of goods to and from the city. The barges could be seen sailing on the River Gudenå right until the beginning of World War I. Very childfriendly

Around Ørnsø
During this hike, your chances of experiencing impressive types and flocks of birds are very good. Out on the water, geese, coots and ducks are floating. Kingfishers and herons are often seen by the lakeshores. In the marsh-like forest, there is a rich bird life of especially smaller species, which can primarily be heard around springtime when the beautiful music of the titmice and warblers peaks. Towards the south-western end of the lake, the nightingale will entertain you. In the autumn, you might be lucky enough to spot starling magic fill the skies: flocks of starlings dancing above the lake.
Length: 3 km
Estimated time: 1 hour - 1 hour and 15 min.
