Hiking in Staksrode Forest The yellow route in Staksrode Forest is demanding due to the steep hills but it is popular with both nature lovers and families with children. The children love to climb the hills and fallen trees. Set aside plenty of time to enjoy the nature and the views along the way.

Around Bygholm Lake Beautiful hiking route close to the Horsens city centre at the lakefront of Bygholm Lake. The path takes you through an area with deep forest and a rich animal life. You’ll also find a good MTB trail and a bridle path. And nearby is the impressive Bygholm Park with recreational areas, an old manor, and the ruins of an old fortress.

Around Tunø On the small, car-free island, we guarantee that you'll experience an idyllic and authentic island atmosphere with varied terrain. Heaths covered in heather, magical forest areas, fields and dramatic cliffs are just some of the things you will experience. The route is an absolute must for your bucket list - especially because of the popular treasure hunt which means that children and adventurous adults receive a free Tunø medal for their achievements.

The Gudenå Trail from Voervadsbro to Emborg Follow the trail along the river Gudenå. The route passes through the hilly countryside, the historic monstery mill Klostermølle and the beautiful vista point at the top of the hill called Sukkertoppen – with an Instagram worthy view over Lake Mossø.

From the source of the river Gudenå to Uldum Kær Follow Gudenå from its source in Tinnet Krat through protected areas of natural beauty to the large boggy area at Uldum Kær. There are several areas along the signposted route with beautiful views of the Gudenå valley and you have ample opportunities to observe the very special type of nature that characterises this part of the river with meadows, forests and heaths.

“The Kanino” on the island of Endelave You are guaranteed to have heard of the pilgrimage route in Spain called the Camino. At Endelave, you can walk the Kanino. The route which is named after the characteristic rabbit population on the island is a 21 km tour (de force) around the island with magnificent views of the sea. The Coastal Trail Snaptun-Juelsminde Prepare yourself for a gloriously beautiful and wonderfully varied hiking route between the two atmospheric harbour towns of Snaptun and Juelsminde - right on the coast! It will take you through deep forests, wide sandy beaches, idyllic villages and beautiful manor parks before you reach cosy Juelsminde.

The Railway Trail Horsens-Odder Until 1967, a railway connected Horsens and Odder. Today, you can walk the 36 km on foot along a route that is made up of varied types of paths and underlay. The nature along the coast alternates between beautiful agricultural landscapes with magnificent mansions and small villages formed in the heyday of the railway line and nestling under humming windmills.
