This trail goes through the heath area of Randbøl Hede and past the unique lakes Syvaarssøerne and offers a huge variety on landscapes. The lakes are a curiosity, in that they sometimes dry out completely and at other times are filled with water - a cycle that can last several years. Hence the name "Syvaarssøerne" ("The seven year lakes"). If on horseback, you should stick to the main paths - this is especially true in the lakes area, where many parts of the loop follow narrow and at times steep paths.Show more
