In the Footsteps of the Poet H. C. AndersenIn this popular excursion area, you will find Denmark's highest mountains, between which a romantic lake landscape, fed by the Guden Å, the longest river in Denmark, has formed. This forested area already inspired H. C. Andersen for his works. After all, we stand 172 m above sea level on the 25-meter-high observation tower Himmelbjergtårn high above the treetops and let our gaze wander over the lakes, forests, and heath areas that we hike through.

    We did the tour on 11.8.2025. Starting at the church we went through the first street and thought we were on a private property right before we went through high grass along the field. Hoping that the owner is not annoyed about all the hikers. Leaving Adslev behind us, we enjoyed the varying scenery along the way with the small village, the fields and the forest. The highlight of the tour definitely are the wooden steps or small bridges covered with metallic fence to make it less slippery in the area with the wetland. The kids loved that very special part. We made a picknick at Kollens Molle where the kids played with the water stream. Afterwards some parts of the hike are along roads which are a bit tricky regarding the traffic. We can definitely recommend this hiking tour!

    Super schöne kleine Runde. Haben wir zur Pause auf der Fahrt weiter in den Norden gemacht. Wichtig: keine Hunde erlaubt - der Weg geht über die Weide des Milchbetriebes. Ggf. grast dort auch das Milchvieh - nicht durch die Herde laufen sondern ggf. Route anpassen/ nicht über die Weide laufen. Attention: No dogs! Beware of the cows - you are walking across pastures. Don’t walk across the herd - go around or use alternative route without crossing the pastures.
