Silkeborg

Silkeborg is a lakeside railway town in founded in 1844 around a big paper mill at the Gudenå River, the longest and biggest river of Denmark. The name and history of the settlement goes back to at least the 15th century, though, when a castle by the name of Silkeborg was mentioned in written documents.
