Frydensbjerruten - Round trip in Mariager (3 km)

Go on a nice walk in Mariager, on the Frydensbjerruten, which is approx. 3 km long. 

The Frydensbjerruten is a beautiful walk of approx. 40 min., which takes you past forest and coast as well as the old veteran railroad between Mariager and Handest, which with its 17 km is Denmark's longest of its kind.

The route is named after the Frydensbjerghøjen, which is a burial mound that can be dated back to the Bronze Age (years 1.700-500 BC).

At the mound, a multitude of native species grow for the benefit of biodiversity. There are several benches along the route where you are welcome to take a short rest, this may even be preferable after a few steep sections in the hilly terrain.

Sit down and enjoy the beautiful nature - and if you are completely quiet, you may be lucky to hear the drumming of the green woodpecker or the black woodpecker on the tree trunks. 

The route is beautiful in both directions, and you pass several fine viewpoints along the way, including Sukkertoppen, where you have a good view beyond Mariager Fjord.

The route goes through hilly terrain and is not wheelchair friendly.

 

NB: Please be aware that vintage trains run on the tracks during the summer - as well as on several days the rest of the year. It is therefore very important that you look carefully before crossing the tracks. 

The Frydensbjerruten is one of many beautiful routes in the area. You can see more routes Here!
