Itinerary description

Short introduction

A short walk for the entire family in some wonderful nature.

Equipment needed

Stilettos might not be the best idea, but boots, shoes or sandals will do just fine.

Dangers

Beware near the railroad - especially if you bring children. Otherwise just make sure you check yourself over for ticks. There are vipers in the area, but I've never seen one.

Accessibility

Not suitable for strollers/prams/wheelchairs.

Dogs

Dogs allowed, but always on leash. Be careful near the railroad - a long line might make it possible for the dog to reach the railroad. The part of the trail between the gates on Kjællinghøl Voldsted is grazed by cattle, please make sure your dog doesn't aggravate them.
