Ring Lake
On the outskirts of Brædstrup, you will find this inviting bathing lake with a sandy beach and a bathing jetty. The area offers pleasant facilities around the beach, and a three-kilometre footpath encircles the lake, which makes for a scenic walk or hike.
Beautiful bathing beach in Bakkelandet
Although Brædstrup, and the rest of the Bakkelandetregion, is located only a short distance from the coast, the area's residents and tourists shouldn't miss out on a quick swim at the beach. Just 1 kilometer from the city's commercial center, you can take a dip on a hot summer day, sunbathe, or simply relax by the water at the tables/benches.
The beach is situated in the north-eastern corner of the lake, closest to the town, with a car park accessible via Søkildevej. There are excellent facilities for a picnic, including a covered shelter and outdoor tables. A public toilet is also available on site.
In addition to the good bathing water, as a visitor, you can enjoy a 42-meter-long U-shaped bathing bridge with two access points and a thick layer of soft sandy beach.
In bathing lakes, blue/green algae can develop, which are not healthy for humans. Horsens Municipality continuously monitors the bathing water in Ring Lake. If swimming is temporarily advised against, it will be indicated on this page (In Danish) and on site.
Hiking around the lake
To experience the scenic surroundings of Ring Lake on foot, follow the approximately three-kilometre path that circles the water. The landscape features narrow meadows, woodland and open fields. It is a pleasant and varied walk, although it can be very wet outside the summer season or after heavy rainfall. The trail is not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs.
Nature adventure at Ring Sø
With the free app, Natureventyr, you can take the walk around the lake while diving into the child-friendly adventure "Sun and the Lake Monster" about a young girl who fights a lake monster and tries to make the sun and water friends again.
