A peaceful bike ride along an abandoned railway through the Nørreå Valley and charming villages. Experience nature, history, and views over hills and river valleys along the way.
Start from the campsite and ride to Vammen. Turn left towards Viborg and continue straight through the junction. Cross over onto the cycle path. After about 4 km, turn left onto the field road Klarisgårdsvej immediately after a farm. From Klarisgård, the road becomes paved – continue straight and follow the road at the intersection. At the next T-junction, turn left onto Ingstrupvej over the Møllebæk stream. At the next T-junction, turn right onto Fædalhøjvej towards the signposted Kokholm 1. On the right is a former school – continue straight past the old mission house “Fredebo”, past the Vansø lake, and on Fædalhøjvej to highway 16.
At the feed store, cross highway 16 to the right and immediately after to the left and continue left along Taphedevej towards the signposted Tapdrup 3. At the T-junction in Tapdrup, turn right past the grocery store (Brugsen) and the church. After about 150 meters, turn left onto Stationsvej.
The abandoned railway line has been converted into a bike path. Follow it to the left toward the signposted Vejrumbro 4. At a farm in Vejrumbro, where the path ends, turn left and then immediately right onto Hovedgaden. Then turn right again onto Østervangsvej towards the signposted Viskum 2.

Aarhus University department DCA = Danish Centre for Food and Agriculture, is on the left. In Foulum, follow the paved road past the old school to a T-junction. Turn right up Hobrovej past the community hall (every Danish village has one for family celebrations and events).
