Solvang
Highlight • Settlement
Solvang, California (population 5,286) is nestled in the Santa Ynez Valley wine region on California's central coast. The town's name means "sunny fields" in Danish. Solvang was founded in 1911 when a group of Danish Americans bought 9,000 acres of the former Jonata Ranch. To preserve and promote Danish culture, the founders built Atterdag College in 1914 and Bethania Lutheran Church in 1928.

Dan Henry Bike Route
Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway
In case you wondered, Dan Henry is "a bicycling legend and inventor of directional pavement markings commonly used to guide participants along the route of organized bicycling events. The markers themselves are usually called 'Dan Henrys'".
The Dan Henry Bike Route is part of the Solvang Century. It connects the Lompoc-to-Solvang leg via Santa Rosa Rd and Hwy 246 on the one side and Foxen Canyon Rd on the other. Alternatively you can take Figueroa Mountain Rd for a nice climb. The road is the continuation of Grand Ave beyond Hwy 154. cyclingcalifornia.me.ht/CyclingCalifornia/Solvang/DanHenryBikeRoute/Desc.html
