SILKEBORG OPEN WATER - HIMMELBJERGSVØM 2027

On August 15, 2027, the Silkeborg Open Water - Himmelbjerg Swim invites swimmers to explore Denmark's most picturesque waterways. The race takes place around the stunning Silkeborg Lakes and features a breathtaking route from the foot of Himmelbjerget down to the heart of Silkeborg.
Participants will gather at Borgmesterhaven, Aahavevej 51-53, for check-in between 7:30 AM and 8:45 AM. Swimmers in longer distances will depart by boat from various starting points along the lakes, including Himmelbjerget itself for those tackling the full 11,000-meter challenge.
The day promises a scenic journey through serene waters with stunning views of rolling hills and lush landscapes. The shorter routes offer equally charming settings, such as Sejs Ladeplads and "De små fisk," providing diverse aquatic experiences within this natural paradise.
Swimmers will enjoy the camaraderie among participants while navigating calm lakes and tranquil bays. As they approach the finish line at Borgmesterhaven, a festive atmosphere awaits with prizes awarded to all distance winners starting from 12:30 PM onwards for the shortest route and culminating in an afternoon celebration honoring the longest journey's completion.
This event is not just about crossing distances but immersing oneself in nature’s beauty while testing personal limits.
