A very nice trail. It's 17 km long and really makes the most of the few meters of elevation gain.

Bølling Sø is a remarkable place with a fascinating history. Once a vast lake, it was drained in the 19th century to create farmland and peat bogs. In one of these bogs, the world-famous Tollund Man was discovered. In a major and successful conservation effort, the lake was recreated in 2005. The area today is a beautiful example of a restored landscape, with a large, shallow lake at its centre.

This observation tower offers you a fantastic view of Grathe hede, a place of great historical significance. From the top of the tower, you can get a panoramic view of the heathland that was once the site of the famous Battle of Grathe Heath in 1157, where King Svend Grathe was killed. It's a powerful experience to stand at this vantage point and take in the view of the landscape where such a key event in Danish history occurred.

North-west of the Funder village, this church has no tower but it's a beautiful building nevertheless. Both the south portal and the north portal are built in Romanesque architecture and the pulpit is in the late Renaissance style.
