A surprisingly pleasant 20 km walk to the border on soft woodland and field tracks, except for a couple of km across a highway or two.
This is the end of my walk in Denmark, if anyone else decides to do this, feel free to contact me with questions.
Not posted so much the past few days but have been moving along. From Kongeåen herberg I walked to Jegerup herberg, not on the official Hærvejen list for accommodation, not sure why because it was very nice.
Next day on to Bruhnsgaard herberg, another 26-27 km, where the lady running the place...
Tonight am staying at Kongeåen herberg, another nearly 30 km, but we took a bus for 10 km to Vejen where my friend had to take the train back home. Did not miss much it would have been all road walking.
Am on my own at the herberg, right out in the country side. However, wifi !, Yes first time...
From Jelling walked to Ølgaard herberg, +/- 30 km. A friend of mine joined for 2 days which made for really nice company.
The Herberg we stayed at last night was a bit chaotic, they do warn that they have events going on on Saturday, and so they did: a wedding.
The wedding guests believed they...
The trademarked logo for Bluetooth is the combination of two ancient Danish runes of the letters "H" and "B," the initials of Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson
Well, the exhibition here in Jelling about the Vikings history and the transition to Christianity is outstanding. I would say that it is perhaps one of the most interesting and engaging exhibitions I've ever seen, if ever you have the opportunity to visit it is well worth it. It also describes...
30 km today Nørre Snede to Jelling. Rain all morning and walking on tarmac most of the time so all in all not a very inspiring day.
Tonight in the Herberg in Jelling, all of a sudden a group of 7 people have arrived. Including a small baby! Gosh, not using to such a crowd! Will stay 2 nights so...
Last night in Møllegården herberg,in Sepstrup, had a cabin all to myself, so nice. 150 kr/ about 20€.
Walking through beautiful countryside, lots of historical sites, passed the location where the Tollund man (5th century B.C) was found.
Am tonight using the "use my backyard" app and...
Bits and pieces: the farmers are working day and night to bring the harvest in, it may rain a bit overnight. So all tractors and harvesting equipment in full action everywhere.
At the past 4-5 herbergs no wi-fi, perhaps most people in Denmark have good dataplans and don't really need wifi.
The...
I'm in Kragelund now and just measured the distance to Himmelbjerget, it's 27 kmso not so far. There is a bus from this village to Silkeborg and then there are hiking trails all around the lakes. Himmelbjerget is actually not the highest point in Denmark. It was properly measured in middle of...
Arrived in Viborg and have posted my tent home will use only herbergs and shelters now. Am about halfway now.
Only place I have found free high speed wifi is in a coffee shop, having an iced latte, do feel sorry for me, like not!😂 It's cooking out there today 🌞. Not complaining, though, its...
Local honey, potatoes, vegetables, fruit being sold at little stands along the way. An the occasional Camino angel too, fridge with cold drinks and snacks for a small fee.
Oh yes I did follow Frie Fodspor too , they finished a few days after I began and also were interviewed by the region radio station in the North Jutland.
Yes! Møjn, I am looking forward to hearing that.
The country side now is much softer, more agriculture thus more fields and harvest is in full swing.
Similar to south of England, Kent perhaps.
Still no WiFi where I am tonight at Hjarbæk a very small village by the inland sea , Hjarbæk fjord...
