Experiences: Store Blåkilde is one of Denmark's largest and most water-rich spring sources. The path is relatively easy for all ages, and the spring itself is a beautiful sight in all kinds of weather and at all times of the year. The spring is located in a meadow with willow bushes, anemones, orchids, meadow buttercups, and flowering grasses. Store Blåkilde is a significant supplier of water to Mariager Fjord. The water flows from Villestrup Å to the fjord through beautiful valleys. The pure spring water has given rise to much superstition. Even today, you can see coins at the bottom of the spring, where the sand is not stirred up by the flowing groundwater. If you come in May during the early morning hours, there is a good chance of hearing the nightingale sing.
