The hotel needs a review, loose lamps in the corridors, cleaning of algae on windows, awnings, etc. Beds could be of better quality. Otherwise a nice place.

Fantastic hotel, staff and food. Definitely 10 out of 10. Risskov Rejser I will not boast about. We had changed the arrival date ourselves after agreeing with Risskov Rejser. However, this was not communicated to the hotel. We were lucky that there was a single room available when we arrived. So the reception sorted it out for us. We paid DKK 1,589 with Risskov Rejser🫣, but we could have booked the stay for DKK 998.00 by booking directly with Birksø Hotel, so we will do that next time. We had a clear expectation that the stay would be cheaper with Risskov Rejser.

Risskov:
Thank you for your review.
We are very pleased to hear that you had a fantastic stay and that both the hotel, the staff, and the food met your expectations.
We apologise once again for the misunderstanding that occurred upon arrival. We can see in our system that the request for a change of arrival date was forwarded to the hotel and subsequently confirmed. Based on this, we were also able to send you new travel documents with the updated arrival date. Therefore, we regret that the change was still not correctly registered upon your arrival.
Regarding the price, we would like to point out that hotels may have their own campaigns or special offers at times for direct bookings. Prices and package contents may therefore vary depending on where and when the stay is booked.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We hope we have the opportunity to welcome you again.
Yours sincerely,
Risskov Bilferie

We only had an overnight stay, so there's a limit to what one can write about it. We had a good experience with food and service. Beautiful nature immediately near the hotel. Would gladly come again another time.

Points of interests
Sky Mountain
Go on a cheap car holiday to Central Jutland and climb Himmelbjerget and experience the magnificent scenery. Himmelbjerget is 147 metres high and has attracted thousands of tourists since the 1800s. Since 1861 it has been possible to sail there with the Hjejlen, which is still possible today. Enjoy the stunning views from one of the area's many vantage points.
Skanderborg
Skanderborg is located in the Søhøjlandet, the southern, hilly area between Silkeborg, Skanderborg, Horsens, Tørring and Thyregod. Søhøjlandet is known for its beautiful nature with lakes, forests and Himmelbjerget. Hiking, cycling and boating are plentiful. Also visit Søbadet, where it is possible to swim in the lake.
The Skanderborg area also offers exciting experiences in art, culture, gastronomy and shopping. Skanderborg Castle Church is worth a visit.
Skanderborg Museum
Skanderborg Museum is a merger of several museums, including Ferskvandsmuseet, Frihedsmuseet, Gl. Rye Mølle, Skanderborg Museum, Øm Kloster Museum and the historical archives of the municipality of Skanderborg. All of these individual museums are within easy driving distance of Skanderborg, and there's sure to be one to suit your taste.
Silkeborg Bird of Prey Show and Bison Farm
The absolute best way to experience the beautiful eagles, extremely fast falcons and very agile hawks. Both entertaining and unconventional, the shows demonstrate the incredible flying and hunting instincts these birds of prey possess. Try holding a bird of prey or owl yourself. They can appear larger on the arm than when flying around in the higher air and look like grey sparrows. Afterwards, there is the opportunity to explore the 'Owl Forest' and meet the world's largest owls, which nest in the trees. Then try to find your way out of the forest through the maze of paths, not always easy.
Also meet the magnificent bison. Take the tractor-trailer ride and hear the strange and amazing story of the bison's migrations and how it was vital to the Indians' survival and eventually wiped out by the white man.
An exciting trip for both children and adults interested in birds of prey and bison in the middle of nature's own open-air scene.
Hjejlen
Come on a wonderful sailing trip on the Silkeborg lakes with Hjejlen; the world's oldest coal-fired wheel steamer. This magnificent steamship celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2011 with the participation of The Queen. Experience the beautiful Jutlandic countryside from an angle you've never seen before, and become part of the Hjejlen's amazing history. Make a stop at Himmelbjerget and go up to enjoy the wonderful view from the top. A mini break, a family holiday, a summer holiday or just a cheap weekend break - holidaying in Denmark never has to be boring!
AQUA Aquarium & Animal Park
Meet the fascinating Danish animals living in wild and natural environments in AQUA. Watch the otter hunt in the lake and meet the cheeky raccoons who love to fight as well as play. There are also storks, vipers and then there are the cute little boar cubs, always busy exploring their surroundings. Children are sure to enjoy the large water playground, where water fights last for hours. Shoot the others down with the water cannon and try out the various water experiments or how about a trip through the water tower, if you're up for it! There's also a large indoor aquarium with pike and the record-breaking giant eel, which can swallow a whole duck if need be. Or how about a visit to the bottom of the lake without getting your feet wet, a great experience that can easily keep the whole family entertained. Also try the trip up to the fourth floor, which is full of amphibians and reptiles as well as various insects, and then there's the Dark Aquarium, but we've promised to keep that a secret, because it has to be experienced. Finish off an amazing tour in the café area, where organic dishes are served in both adult and children's sizes. Take the whole family to AQUA Aquarium & Animal Park - book a cheap hotel stay with Risskov today.

Årslev
Take a driving holiday in Denmark and visit the small but charming Årslev which has been considered a village for many years but is now a western suburb of Aarhus. The settlement, according to local historian August F. Schmidt, is believed to have been founded in the 4th or 5th century and was called Arsløf in 1203. Today Årslev is almost joined to the district of Brabrand. Until the municipal reform of 1 April 1970, it belonged to the Brabrand-Årslev parish municipality. In the centre is Årslev Church, which in the terminology of the People's Church is called Sønder Årslev Church to avoid confusion with Årslev near Randers. Find a cheap family holiday at Risskov and get away with the whole family on an experience in Aarhus.
