THE PROJECT: RETURN For many years exploring the countryside has been one of our favourite pass-times. Especially while walking in England and France many excellent guide books, Sunflower Landscapes, Topo-guide and a multitude of local guides has made it possible to discover and explore a range of well-marked trails. In Denmark we have been happy to note that a lot of the trails, we have discovered over the years have been cleared and sign-posted. Also a large number of folders and guides have been published with good route-descriptions and easy-to-follow maps of the trail That is a pity! Denmark has a lot to offer: Easy trails through varied and beautiful landscapes. Good public transportations and accommodations (almost) always within reach. If only you have the need-to-know information. So that is what we have set out to do: to write what could in time be the Landscapes of Denmark. That of course, is the long-term project. This is the beginning. We plan to start in our own immediate neighbourhood, the area around Aarhus, but we hope that, once started, we will be able to add a number of shorter or longer walks, as we walk or re-walk them ourselves. As we move along we hope to make some of the material about walking in Denmark more easily available s. Unfortunately most of them will be written in Danish, and many of them are not easily available for a foreign tourist. That is, you more or less have to know they are there in order to find them on the net, and for instance you may have to go to a public library in order to get hold of them.
