TRAIL TALES

HAERVEJSMARCHEN isn’t just about walking; it's just as much about the social aspect. Many of the participants therefore emphasise the fun and the atmosphere surrounding the march as something very special.

    With 8,000-9,000 participants from 26 different countries, this year's Hærvejsmarch 2025 in Viborg was very beautifully and stylishly held. It was lovely walking weather, it was festive, it was good and it was a super wonderful experience to participate in this year's Hærvejsmarch in Viborg.

    Denmark's "longest" wedding party...

    05/09/2025 Laurits Rasmussen

    On Saturday, June 24, 2023, we were married on the parade ground in Viborg during this year's Haervejsmarch. We were married by Marriage Officer Stine Isaksen and afterwards we invited all our guests to join us on the 10 km of Hærvejsmarch, with a few breaks along the way - so perhaps you could even talk about Denmark's "longest" wedding party...

    My first Haervejsmarch in 1971

    11/06/2025 J. Unnerup

    In 1971 I was 17 years old, and during a family stay in Åbenrå, the Haervejsmarch was mentioned, which my cousin and her husband had participated in. When I got home I mentioned it to my best friend that I would like to try walking the 2 x 45 km...

    In Denmark, we can choose from many beautiful hiking routes when we feel like lacing up our hiking boots. However, seasoned hiker Bo Nielsen from Ørbæk on Funen believes that there is a particularly good reason to go to Viborg to participate in the traditional Haervejsmarch once a year.

    The 2020 Haervejsmarch offered far, far more good experiences than we had imagined before. I got 4 of them, so there were 5 of us who went. Read Niels-Anker's experiences from the virtual march.
