    The line allows 160 km/h (99mph) between Århus Hovedbanegård and Skanderborg, 120 km/h (75 mph) between Skanderborg and Silkeborg and 100 km/h (62 mph) between Silkeborg and Herning. The line is equipped with ATO ZUB 123.

    East from Silkeborg you can see the Himmelbjerget. In mainland Denmark, it is the biggest height difference with a beautiful spot on the Julsø lake.

    From this route, I could only find two cab rides from 2001.



    The inspiration for this route is from a Dutch television program Rail Away. For those who can't understand Dutch, I hope the images are enough to inspire and I hope it isn't geoblokked.
