Calm pleasant surroundings despite being located in the city center, pedestrian street. Highly recommended as the central location on the square allows you to enjoy the Silkeborg life.

About the hotel
In the centre of Silkeborg, in the middle of the square, is the classic Hotel Dania, part of historic Silkeborg. The hotel has been in the same location since 1848 and can thus offer its guests an almost historic stay filled with personality, warmth and good memories.
About the hotel
Hotel Dania has played an important role in Silkeborg's history since 1848, when the hotel was founded. The hotel's long history hides many great stories and celebrities who have stayed here. H.C. Andersen and the actress Johanne Louise Heiberg praised the "comfort and hospitality of the rooms" in one of her many letters.
Hotel Dania is particularly known for its restaurant, Brasserie Underhuset, which has received several gastronomic awards and is also a member and Knight of the "Chaine des Rotisseurs", a worldwide organisation of gastronomes. It serves high-quality food inspired by classic restaurants in France.
Breakfast is served in the Drewsens Salen, which is part of the hotel and named after the founder of the Paper Mill. The large terrace is also a hit, especially when the sun is out. Food and drink are served here, and a good lunch can quickly turn into a long afternoon of convivial company with like-minded bon vivants and freshly poured draught beer.
Rooms
All rooms are newly renovated and equipped with a private bathroom and hairdryer. Rooms and bathrooms are all different sizes, as the renovation was true to history. There is a 32- or 40-inch Smart TV, with the option of connecting your own media device. A trouser press is also fitted, for free use, and both an iron and ironing board can be borrowed from reception if they are not already in the room. The hotel also offers a cleaning and laundry service, which is available within 24 hours - (except on weekends and public holidays). Free WI-FI is available throughout the hotel.
Some rooms have lake views, while others face the vibrant square, which features a market every Saturday and various events throughout the year.

We arrived on a Sunday and the kitchen was closed, so we had to go out and have dinner elsewhere, which I think is unfortunate, on Monday we had to have dinner at another restaurant and not at the hotel, which I also think is unfortunate, but otherwise, the hotel is well located centrally and has really good breakfast, and the staff was very nice.

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.
