From Helsingรธr to Rรธdby
During 2020 I walked from Helsingรธr on the Swedish border, to Rรธdby on the border to Germany.

From Tรฅrnby to Korsรธr
During the summer of 2020 I walked west across Sjรฆlland from Tรฅrnby (outside Copenhagen) to Korsรธr, where the bridge to Fyn is situated.

Nyborg to Middelfart
I took the train from Korsรธr to Nyborg across the 16km "Storebรฆlt" bridge - walking not allowed. From Nyborg I spent 3 days walking east to west across the island of Fyn, staying in Odense and Fjelsted, before arriving in Middelfart.

Odense to Bรธjden
I had passed Odense going east to west, and started here again to go south towards Bรธjden and the ferry to the island of Als. I walked for 2 days, staying overnight, a bit off the pilgrimage route, in Brobyvรฆrk.

Frederikshavn/Hirtshals to Padborg
During 2021 I walked the Hรฆrvejen from Frederikshavn to Padborg, and in 2022 from Hirtshals to Aars.
I walked the Hรฆrvejen in 4 separate trips:
1. Aars to Spjarup (near Vejen) - August 2021
2. Spjarup to Padborg - September 2021
3. Frederikshavn to Aars - October 2021
4. Hirtshals to Aars - May 2022
Fynshav to Krusรฅ
I took the boat from Bรธjden (Fyn) to Fynshav and walked across Als to Sรธnderborg and on to Krusรฅ at the German border, over 2 days - mostly following the so called Gendarmstien. The Gendarmstien is named after the old border gendarmes, who, for a number of years guarded the land border between Germany and Denmark and controlled shipping along the coast. The patrol took place on foot in the time from the Reunification in 1920 until 1958.

Middelfart to Vejen
On my trip east to west over Sjรฆlland and Fyn, I walked over the Lillebรฆlt bridge connecting Fyn to Jylland and walked to Fredericia, Kolding and ended in Vejen.
Vejen is the point at which the east-west part of the Danish Pilgrimage meets Hรฆrvejen (Ox-road) that goes north-south through Jylland.
