Explore the Aarhus Region's top-rated nature and cycling trails - in mountains, valleys and close to the sea.

Mountains, forests, valleys and unique trail systems

Some of the most breathtaking nature you'll find in Mols Bjerge National Park and in Silkeborg, the Outdoor Capital of Denmark, surrounded by the beautiful Lake District Søhøjlandet. In addition, Fussingø National Nature Park, the river Gudenåen and the ancient Hærvejen also offer fantastic cycling experiences, whether you are into short trips or longer challenges.

The Aarhus Region's nature and trail systems are among the best in Denmark. You'll experience a varied landscape with hills that feel like mountains and valleys like beautiful oases with clear lakes and lush forests. With well-developed trail systems, the area is perfect for both an active cycling holiday and relaxing hikes.

Gentle hills and quiet trails along historic roads

The Ancient Road Hærvejen and the river Gudenåen are two of Denmark's most iconic natural phenomena, shaped by the Ice Age and thousands of years of history. Both routes have been used as transport routes and hiking trails for millennia and have played an important role as lifelines for settlements, experiences and activities in the Danish landscape.
