M/S Ternen, from 1896, is highly popular for summer sightseeing cruises and more intimate social outings, offering a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere.
Ternen was purchased by Hjejleselskabet to meet the increasing demand for sailing on the Gudenå River.
Even though the old lady has been sailing with many thousands of happy guests every year since, she remains incredibly well-maintained. Time has simply embraced the boat, giving it a soul that contributes to creating authentic experiences on board.
Since 1896
1896
Ternen was built in Kristianstad, Sweden, and sailed to Randers, where it was registered. From there, the journey continued to Silkeborg. As with Hjejlen, Ternen faced challenges on her maiden voyage, notably in Randers, where 180 people were required to board in order for the boat to clear a railway bridge.
In its early years, Ternen sailed on the route between Silkeborg and Himmelbjerget, but later the boat found its home base in Ry.
1916
Ternen returned home to Silkeborg.
1923
After 25 years of steam operation, the boiler had reached the end of its service life, and Ternen was converted into a motorboat fitted with a 36 hp two-cylinder Kelvin paraffin engine.
1940
With the outbreak of the occupation, petrol was banned for tourist cruising, and Ternen was therefore laid up from 1940 to 1945.
1984
In 1984, tables were added to the lounge, allowing for table service on board Ternen. This made Ternen far more versatile than before.
Engine power: 140 hp
Top speed: 8 knots
Max number of passengers: 80
Table seats: 38
Heated lounge.
Toilet.
Large windows providing plenty of natural light and great views.
Outdoor foredeck with seating.
When you rent Ternen, you get a wonderful crew to sail the boat. You set the course, but there are always plenty of ideas and good advice available both at the Hjejleselskabet office and in the boat’s wheelhouse.
Perhaps the boat will take a round trip without stops while you enjoy refreshments on board. Maybe you’ll dock at one of the small landing stages along the lakes so everyone can disembark for a brisk walk. Or perhaps we can together create a different program based on your wishes and our experience. There are many possibilities when you set sail with a Hjejle boat from the dock.
With us, you decide whether you want to arrange your next event yourself or draw on our many years of experience. Contact us for further information at +45 86 82 07 66 or via mail@hjejlen.com.
Great events last longer than just a single day or evening. They live on in memories and conversations long after. By choosing to host your event on one of the Hjejle boats, you’ve already laid the solid foundation that ensures the event will be a resounding success.
