Nature calls

Nature around the Lake Highlands offers everything from deep forests to beautiful lakes. In this elective subjective, we will explore the surroundings of Silkeborg Højskole on foot, by bike, in a climbing harness, and by canoe.
We’ll test our campfire skills, explore animal and plant life, orienteering through the forests, mushroom foraging, winter swimming, or baking pancakes with seasonal wild herbs.

Nature Calls focuses on creating meaningful outdoor experiences. If you want to get closer to nature and learn the basic skills needed to seek out more adventures on your own, this is the elective for you.

Existential and Elective Subjects

At Silkeborg Højskole, we offer a wide range of subjects. The list of elective and existential subjects is dynamic, and new subjects are added to the menu each semester. Elective and Existential Subjects are chosen upon arrival, with a 1st–3rd priority system. We always aim to fulfill as many first priorities as possible.
