Nr. Snede - Viborg
CHALLENGES & NATURE FOR ALL 75 KM
Our 75 kilometer route from Nr. Snede to Viborg is for those who want an incredible cycling experience on the ancient highway Hærvejen with family, friends, colleges or their team. Everyone can participate.
The route follows the natural ridge that was formed through Jutland during the last ice age. Here, an ancient road – Hærvejen – has, over the centuries, helped migrants, pilgrims, merchants and Vikings stay dry as they made their way up through Denmark.
The route passes through the beautiful landscape of the Hærvejen ancient road with rolling cornfields, beech forests, hills, lakes and idyllic villages.
The route also offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the ride. At two places along the way, you roll through one of our feed stations, famous not only for their great food but also for their even better atmosphere.
Starting address: Nørre Snede Hallen, Skolegade 16B, 8766 Nørre Snede, Denmark
Route profile and highlights
Route highlights
Here we go! You're off on the 75 kilometer route along the Ancient Road, Hærvejen. Some of the toughest climbs lay just ahead, so we recommend that you quickly get those legs up to speed.
You can really feel your legs at this point, but right before the 3rd feed station, another challenging climb await. Col du Funder rises at a more steady average gradient of 4 %.
The first feed station is located in the city of Funder. Enjoy a break, the local delicacies and the nice atmosphere after the challenging climbs.
You are closing in on the finish, but the climbs in Dollerup awaits. It would be stupid to bonk completely before Viborg, so remember to enjoy the delicious feed station at Vattrupgaard.
The last serious challenge is Dollerup Bakker south of Viborg. Although by now you are probably starting to run low on energy, this climb rises up over 1,300 meters at 3.8% on average. The landscape is dramatic - created during the last ice age.
Congratulations - you made it! Soak up the atmosphere as your ride the red carpet through the old city center ultimately finishing in the race village for a big celebration.
Now it's time to unclip and celebrate your achievement. This is where participants from all routes finish and meet. You can enjoy a well deserved meal and a cold drink while taking it all in.
