Herstedhøje Forest

Highlight • Forest

Gravel road through the dense forest of Herstedhøje

Tip by

36.4 km

Very steep hill with a max gradient of around 13-14%. The asphalt is very bad, so be careful when riding down this monstrosity. Komoot says it's gravel, but it's not - trust me, I've trained there many times on my race bike.

Cycling bridge over Jyllingevej

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

Interesting cycling bridge connecting one part of Vestvolden to another. Also acts as a little kicker of a hill.

November 14, 2024,Sunrise on Herstedhøje 🌅

Pre-work gravel spin...
Left with first light, and (unexpectedly) timed my arrival at Herstedhøje almost perfectly with sunrise.
It's been so cloudy here the last week, so it was nice to start the day with a face full of sunshine ☀️
