The impressive landscape of Vrads Sande is a truly unique highlight in the heart of Denmark. This unusual area of inland sand dunes was formed centuries ago due to sand drift from overgrazing and deforestation. The panoramic view of this near-desert environment is a striking and unexpected sight, providing a dramatic contrast to the surrounding forests. It's a wonderful place to appreciate the country's diverse landscape.

This viewpoint over the Heden Heathland offers you a spectacular panorama of this unique landscape. From this vantage point, you can take in the vast, open expanse of the heath, a defining feature of the area. It's particularly beautiful in late summer, when the heather blooms in a sea of purple, creating a striking and memorable sight. The area offers a profound sense of solitude and is a great spot to appreciate the ancient and wild beauty of the Danish countryside.

On Hærvejen there are few places to stop for refreshments, so it is a pleasure to visit Vrads Købmandshandel. A group of volunteers runs this special shop. Here you can buy a wide variety of beers and teas or local specialties or just have a coffee and admire the museum-like interior. Vrads Købmandshandel is known as "Danmark's most hyggeligig købmand"

The line is an approx. 5 km long section of the Horsens-Bryrup-Silkeborg Railway, which was closed in 1968. The journey goes from Bryrup through a wooded area past the lakes Kvindsø, Kulsø and Snabe Igelsø to Vrads train station. A very nice ride, which is rightly called "Denmark's most beautiful railway".
