Galten
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Galten is a former railway town in central Denmark. It is in Skanderborg municipality in Region Midtjylland in Jutland - about 17 km (a little more than 10 mi) - west of Aarhus and is now more or less a satellite town of Aarhus. Today, Galten has almost fused with the neighbouring eastern town of Skovby into an urban area with a population of 7,874 (1 January 2011)[1].
To the west of the town of Galten there are beautiful landscapes. The scenery between Galten and the nearby lakeside town of Rup is characterised by the gently rolling hilly landscape that is so characteristic of eastern Jutland.
