The trail starts at Bjerning Church, which dates back to approx. year 1200. From here you can either walk or cycle through part of the parish. The trip is approx. 5 km.
From Bjerning church, the route continues towards Hovedvejen, past the thatched farm, which was a parish for many years. The route continues over Hovedvejen towards Åbrovej. In the Middle Ages, two major parallel roads arose to Hærvejen down through Southern Jutland. Åbrovej is part of an eastern road called Oksevejen because of its use for cattle. Before turning off towards Errested Kirkevej, you should continue a short distance south. The ox road is on this piece without asphalt, and with vegetation on both sides it appears almost as in the old days.
Errested, which you reach by walking along Errested Kirkevej towards Thomashusvej, gets its very own history in the Middle Ages. By the end of the 1500th century, most of Errested was acquired by the Duke and King and the future drew light, but in both 1627 and 1657, Errested will be devastated by fire and looting due to the Thirty Years' War, in which Christian IV is persecuted by tenants up through Jutland after his defeat, and the famous war against the Swedes in 30, where the Swedes cross the ice in Copenhagen, and Denmark, as you know, loses Halland, Blekinge and Scania.
When you continue off Thomashusvej towards Hovedvejen, you can also see the field where Denmark's largest silver treasure was found in 2015; The coins are dated to approx. 1040, and at the end of the Viking Age at least one rich nobleman lived in the parish.
The section of the main road that one follows on the route was built in 1855, after the need for newer and better roads began to be understood in the 1700th century. The main roads were once called Chausseer, when they were built after the French model. Until the completion of the Sønderjyske Motorway, almost all north-south traffic took place on this country road, and it is only almost 40 years ago.
The last part of the route is Kongevejen. All the royal roads were on Zealand, except this one, which went from Jelling over Kolding to Haderslevhus and was built 1585-1587. It was one of the three built by King Frederik II and thus one of the very first. A royal road was a road built by the king, for the king and only the king and those he might otherwise allow; Roads were blocked with barriers and there were harsh penalties for abuse.
The trip takes place on both paved roads, bike paths, field roads, and along the reopened church path alias Kongevej. It is allowed to travel on foot and by bicycle on the entire route. For the sake of nature and wildlife around the trail, dogs must be kept on a leash.
