Inderøstien Quality Trail

You’ll walk through a beech forest, across the heath, and along the way there are several beautiful views of Lake Hald.

The hike can be done in any season, but the experience varies greatly depending on the time of year you go.  The best time for the hike is probably in the spring, when the beech trees have just budded. But it’s also a beautiful hike in the fall, when the heather is in bloom.

Shortly after the start of the route, you’ll see some beautiful sunken paths leading down toward Gjelbækken. These are believed to be original traces of the Hærvejen.

Note the embankment that the trail crosses shortly afterward. It was likely built to keep the pigs inside the forest.

Near Hald Hovedgård, you can still see traces of the axis that was part of the manor’s garden layout. The axis begins in the forest on the other side of Herningvej, runs through the main building, and continues on Inderøen, where it can still be glimpsed among the trees.

After crossing the heath, you’ll reach the ice house in Dollerup. There’s a restroom here that’s always open. The ice house is open during school breaks and on some weekends as well.

In the marsh by Gjelbækken, you can see orchids in early summer.

The small footbridge over the spring that flows into Gjelbækken ran straight when it was built, but later the slope eroded, so the bridge now forms an arch.

The route is only partially marked with yellow and red markers, respectively.

Shopping options: Aside from Niels Bugge’s inn, the nearest places to shop are the Skelhøje grocery store (5 km) or Løvbjerg and Rema 1000 in the southern part of town (5 km).
