Hotel Ry is surrounded by Denmark's most beautiful nature and virtually all of Denmark's highest points. The surrounding nature, also called the Søhøjlandet, invites to a wide range of outdoor activities: Canoeing, kayaking, sub boards, cycling, hiking, horseback riding and much more.
The area also offers nice beaches, so remember to bring swimwear and snorkeling equipment - or fishing gear.
