Hiking Highlight (Segment)
Recommended by 2 hikers
Location: Nordfyn, Southern Denmark, Denmark
Old complex with modern and old rune stones - including the one with the longest inscription - and a ship setting from the Viking era. Also two old burial mounds.Very nice circular path laid out by a local volunteer association.Special feature:
This complex also has a Boy Scout character, as there are two shelters including a fireplace with a grill and a washing area, but also a festival meadow with a large fireplace and seating and also a picnic hut with a grill. Complemented by a toilet hut and numerous garbage cans.Worth knowing for cyclists:There is a well-equipped bike station here with tools and an air pump.For drivers: there is a small but nice parking lot right at the entrance.Definitely worth recommending!

In the covered picnic area at the entrance you will find information material - there you will also find the inscription on the stone (it was dedicated to the Viking leader Alle and also contains a curse - whoever destroys this stone...)
