Tanjung Piai National Park

This park is also popularly known as “The Southernmost Tip of Mainland Asia”. It just means that if you want to know where the southernmost part of Asia is, it is located here. There is a structure built near the coast for you to take a photo as a momento that you have been here.

There are benches for you to sit and rest. It can be windy during certain time of the day. Do not expect this place to be as nice as other beaches as the water is muddy and dead trees are floating on certain stretch of the sea.

Langs Gudenåen har pramdragernes fodspor slidt en sti fra Randers til Silkeborg.

I mange hundrede år var Gudenåen den vigtigste transportvej fra Randers til det indre Jylland. Transporten foregik med fladbundede pramme, såkaldte kåge.

Mod strømmen på vejen ind i Jylland blev kågene trukket af lejemænd eller heste, der gik ved bredden. Med strømmen hjalp vandet og vinden transporten af sted. For at styre kågen og give ekstra fart brugte pramkarlene lange stager.
