Toppen af Danmark

Book guided hikes in the Top of Denmark

In the year 2000, 26 areas from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, England and Scotland participated in a project where rescue roads, church paths, royal roads, driveways and sailing trips were to be linked with natural and cultural historical sights.

The North Sea Trail has a total length of 5,000 km, and is in Denmark signposted with a blue sign with the North Sea Trail. The paths usually follow existing field and forest roads, paths and car roads in the open country. In some places there are footpaths that follow terrain, boundaries or windbreaks.

In the Top of Denmark, regardless of interest and level of ambition, there are routes along the coast and the associated hinterland. On the Danish Nature Agency's website, you can search on Nordsøstien to find more information about the different trips.
