Ydby Hede
The route is towards Skibsted Fjord in southern Thy. The hiking route is 3.5 kilometers long, and is described as a half-day trip. The route takes you through Denmark's largest collection of burial mounds from the Bronze Age, which consists of as many as 50 burial mounds. In the parking lot at Oldtidshøjene, there are information boards, which give you an insight into the history of the area and an overview of nature on the route.
From the burial mounds you come down through a wide valley to Skibsted Fjord. In this valley there is vegetation with heather, reefs and cranberries. The route follows the banks of Skibsted Fjord to the east to a footbridge, which takes you over Boddum Bæk. A path through the deciduous forest guides you to Kløvenhøj.
