Povls Bro is a single-arched stone bridge that carries the Hærvejen over Bjerndrup Mølleå south of Urnehoved, northwest of Kliplev in Southern Jutland. The bridge is named after the former army inn Povls Kro north of the bridge. The inn was used by the traders as accommodation, while the oxen could graze down in the fields around Povls Bro. The buildings still lie along Hærvejen, but are now part of a farm, with a hostel for hikers.

On Hærvej you will always meet pilgrims, it has clearly not gone out of fashion.
