Hærvejen — Hesselhus Camping → Vrads

The Hærvejen — the army road, or the ox road — runs the length of Jutland along the watershed, the line drovers took because it crossed no rivers. Soldiers, traders and pilgrims used it for a thousand years, and it is walked today as Denmark's Camino. This stage goes from Hesselhus Camping to Vrads.
