Nordskoven Forest and Gjern Bakker Hills by Bike
This route has some amazing, picturesque landscape in store for you. Ride along the calm current in Gudenå and take in the dramatic Ice Age landscape in the hills of Gjern Bakker.
24 km Bike Ride
Lovely inns and churches will tempt you to stop for breaks along the way, and should you choose to get off your bike and climb Troldhøj on foot, you certainly will not regret it. The view from there is mesmerising – all year round. Be sure to have time to stop and do some bird watching near Sminge Sø lake and see the incredible vintage cars in Gjern.
