Troll Forest (Troldeskoven)

Highlight • Forest

When you see the crooked and twisted beeches, which are over 100 years old, you know why the whale got its name here.

but be careful. The stairs are not without and you have to be careful when it rains, because the water then also tries to find its way down here 😉.

A very beautiful walk in the Rebild Bakker National Park. The Troll Forest with its beech trees, the heath and so much more that we were not able to hike to that day. The national park is in the Rold Skov forest area, the largest forest in Denmark. The walk is easy to walk, the paths are good. There are …

Steep mountains and deep valleys await us in heath and forest. Actually, Rebild Bakker and Rold Skov are really interesting. When you're alone. But that wasn't us on this tour.

We just followed the white arrow from the Rebild Centre.
It was worth it, a bit of everything.
Troll forest, springs, meadows, coniferous forest, heath, some places steeped in history
and free range cows, sheep and goats.
Mountain biking is also great.

I followed - with some changes - mainly the "white triangle", a well-signposted hiking trail, which led me over heathlands, two "summits" of …
