As the music festival finished early I had a quiet night under my tarp and a nice breakfast at the youth hostel in the morning. I continued in direction of Silkeborg. At Lake Mossø I arrived at a summer house area. One of the houses war transferred to an exhibition of the cultural history of the area and a picnic place. Shortly after Alken the paved part ended and the path follows the lake shore until reaching the ruins of the monastery of Øm. Visiting it did not seem worth the money. From here on the path went through forests. Before reaching Ry I hat lunch at a quiet picnic site. It was followed by a side trip to Ry and it's wharf. From here excursion boats travel to Silkeborg. Soon Denmark wanted to show it is not only flat. Up and down it went to a camp ground at Svejbæk on Lake Slåen Sø.
