HÆRVEJSLØBET – The Viking Gran Fondo is an unforgettable ride back through history, and on our 50 kilometer route from Funder to Viborg everyone can take part.
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. 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: Funder Hallen, Skolevej 3, 8600 Silkeborg, Denmark
