    Hiking

    The astronomer Ole Rømer (1640-1710) was commissioned by the king to measure the road network in Denmark. The Danish mile set by him is now 7538 m. The road network was covered with a measuring vehicle that could register every wheel revolution and milestones were set up on a small hill. The milestone hill seen here is the last to be preserved in Denmark. The milestone itself is gone ... But a measuring car is still in the war museum (armory) in Copenhagen and many of the later milestones are still on country roads as decorations.
