Food & drink on the tour
Along the entire route, you will find grocery stores to shop in the cities. The area also offers a wide range of restaurants, from pizzerias to the newer Nordic cuisine and everything in between. Many small farm shops sell locally produced goods along the route.
Water and toilets along the route

Accessibility
In some routes, accessibility can be hampered by stairs or climbs that are not good for people who are walking badly or need aid.
On the part of the route that goes through Grønnessegaard's fields, along Klintestien by Lynæs and through the scout camp at Arrenæs, it is not allowed to ride the bike.
Otherwise, the route can best be described as a varied route in soft terrain with numerous hills, stairs and stunning views.
Remember to take care of nature.
Take your waste with you, also from the dog. There are only a few bins along the route.
