The city seen from above: The viewpoint in Riis Skov

Riis Forest offers stunning views of Aarhus Bay, Mols Bjerge and the new urban neighbourhood Aarhus Ø, where modern architecture rises up and contrasts with the forest's nature. The forest was secured as a green area by Queen Margrete I in 1395 and today serves as a recreational haven for Aarhus residents and visitors alike. It is within walking distance of the city centre and is ideal for running, hiking, picnics or just a quiet moment among the trees. You are welcome all year round and around the clock to enjoy nature.
