The very bumpy profile of the round trip


Departure at the hotel in the small village of Gammel Rye


The way leads through Danish Lake-Highlands being a perfect area for road cyclists.


Largest Jutland lake is Mossø, situated north of Ejer Bjerge.


The lakeland area provides dreamlike road conditions with only very low motorized traffic.


Area is well signposted for cyclists


The summit of Yding Skovhøj is located in the wood in the left back.


Using a cyclocross bike you can detour from the asphalted road and reach the even higher spot on top of the burial plot.


The route continues through wavy terrain...


...to Ejer Bavnehøj.


This one is formally said to be the highest mountain in Denmark.


However, real uphill cycling enthusiacs know there is an even higher spot only 200 meters away next to the cowshed down there - the Møllehøj.


Møllehøj summit can be accessed with a suitable bike through a signposted path over a cow paddock.


The way continues on very light traffic streets...


...back down to Mossø Lake...


...and through pleasant cross town roads.
