Top Attractions in Ry
💡 Climb the 88 steps of the tower for a view over Ry's red rooftops and the Himmelbjerget ridge—it costs a few kroner but is worth the legwork.
💡 Ring the bell if the door looks closed—the volunteer curators are happy to unlock and chat. Ask about the 1915 flood photos; they show how much the lake swallowed the old town.
💡 Walk from the centre along the path past the old railway station; entry is free, but the car park charges 20 DKK after two hours. Bring your own snorkel—the water is clear and fish are visible near the reeds.
💡 Pick up a free map from the tourist office in the library (Adelgade 9). The trail changes each summer, so check their website before visiting for the year's theme. Best seen on foot in 45 minutes.
💡 Go early on a weekday to avoid the crowds. Bring a picnic; benches at the top overlook the water. In autumn, the forest floor is thick with mushrooms.
