Super place to spend the night on EuroVelo 3. If you want to pitch your tent, you can, otherwise there is a large dormitory. It's really great.

Located between Jels and Vojens, near to the archeological site of Stursbøl Plantage, this gravel road is immersed in a lush forest, whose colours are amazing any time of the year.

Stursbøl Plantage is located on a ridge where there are only a few streams to cross. Therefore, the area has likely been used by travelers for thousands of years. The connection to early history becomes particularly clear in the total of 70 Bronze Age burial mounds, which border the various routes of the Ochsenweg.

Café Ellegaard / Stursbøl kro is one of the many Hærvejs herberger. This one lies in nice surroundings and there is also a lawn to set up your little tent. Kitchen and toilet facileties.

This course has completely changed. Many trees have been felled and thinned out, my favorite ramp stands as a pillar in the chaotic forest. I don't recommend this course at the moment, maybe a lot will change.
