Waymarked hiking route in the heart of Odder

Explore Denmark’s biggest village on this hiking route that leads you through the centre of the lively commercial town on fine peaceful paths. The route takes you to many of the city’s most significant buildings such as the town hall, the museum, the library, the old police station, and the hotel, but you will often see it from the backside on paths located away from busy roads, allowing you to see the city from a different perspective.

The route consists of two loops – a 3,6-kilometre-long northeastern loop and a 2-kilometre-long southwestern loop. You can combine these two loops into one route of 5,7 kilometres. The route is waymarked with arrows and a mark for every kilometre you have walked.
