The illuminated colour fountain on the Silkeborg lake is a popular evening attraction in the summer months. The fountain is set in the water and lit with changing coloured lights after dark, creating a simple but effective display that draws locals and visitors to the lakeside on warm evenings.
It is not a spectacular sight by international standards, but it fits well into the pleasant habit of walking the Silkeborg lakefront in the evening, particularly during the long Danish summer twilight. Combined with the surrounding waterside cafes and the gentle light on the lake, it makes for an agreeable way to end an afternoon.
