Along the way, you’ll see the hammock circle, the wooden tipi, and “Det Ny Sletten” – an architecturally striking building designed by AART architects.

The Lake Route – part of the Himmelbjerg Route

The Lake Route takes you all the way down to the shore of Julsø, where forest and lake meet in a stunning natural setting.

The route also passes several of Sletten’s buildings and camp areas, including Det Ny Sletten, Æblegården, and the Campfire Circle, which every five years becomes the hub of the FDF National Camp – a massive event gathering thousands of FDF members.

Aarhus–Silkeborg Hiking Route

Part of the Aarhus–Silkeborg hiking route passes through Sletten. It takes you through beech forest and behind the main area of Sletten, past the wilderness zone and heathland. You'll also pass through a hilly terrain where the elevation gain may work up a sweat – but it’s worth it. At the top, you’re rewarded with an impressive view over the forest canopy and down to Julsø.

Hiking distance: approx. 3 km
