Tange lies in the heart of Central Jutland on the shore of Tange Lake, Denmark's largest artificial lake, formed in 1920 when the River Gudenå was dammed to power the country's largest hydroelectric plant, the Gudenåcentralen. Today the plant houses the Energy Museum, where visitors can trace the story of electricity from early dynamos to today's green power. Around the quiet town, forests, meadows and still water invite walking, fishing and kayaking, while rich birdlife thrives along the reedy shoreline. Gravel paths wind through gently rolling countryside, and the calm lake mirrors the surrounding trees. Tange makes a peaceful base for exploring the nature and industrial heritage of the Gudenå valley, just a short drive from Bjerringbro and Viborg. Here technical heritage and Danish landscape meet in an atmosphere of thoughtful calm, offering families and nature lovers alike room to explore and rest.
