Hærvejen (Army trail)

Hærvejen is an ancient road through Central Jutland that once was used to drive cattles from Jutland to the German region of Schleswig-Holstein. Today, large parts of Hærvejen are unpaved, but you can still find stretches of the old, historical tracks where you can sense the atmosphere of those days. The many grave mounds along the road testifies to the fact that the Hærvej has been an important road in prehistoric times, most likely back in the early Stone Age.
