My husband and I are planning to walk Haervejen (the Ancient Road) in Denmark next summer. We have focused on this because my husband's family is originally from Denmark and we thought this might be a nice way to sink into some Danish history.

I have lots of questions about this route. I have the app, maps and printed guide. For starters my question is about the hostels. It looks like some may now be sold or closed? Is that correct? I'll start with that and ask more as I go along.

Thanks,

Liz Brandt

Hello, @ebrandt. Here are several links you might follow.

http://www.pilgrimsvandring.dk/

The pilgrimspraest, Elisabeth Lidell is frequently on the Haervejen trail. Her husband has been responsible for the architectural and restoration work of the hostels. They may be able to answer some of your questions, too:

Liz, when I saw your post, I thought to myself -- Lovingkindness probably knows something about this. Maybe SYates, too. KinkyOne might have some info, but I think he is heading out to the Camino very soon. But these three always seem to know about any European camino anywhere.

Please let us know how you get on - there is much interest in the routes outside of Spain.

You're welcome! I was walking in Denmark this autumn past (2015) from Frederikshavn to Aarhus. The Haervejen trail is being extended in two directions linking Viborg to the ports of Hirtshals and Frederikshavn. Here's another link, scroll down a little to "5 years on".
