The Arden Route

The Arden Route

The Arden Route is a 7.1 km running route in the southern part of Rold Skov, starting at Sortemosehus north of Arden, where free parking is also available. The route takes you through forest, hills and quiet forest roads in a varied area around Arden, Hvass Sø and the southern part of Rold Skov.

This is a shorter, but rewarding run in nature. Along the way, you pass the sinkholes Røverstuen and Hestegraven, as well as the pleasant surroundings around Hvass Sø. The route is ideal if you want to run in peaceful natural surroundings.

A running route with local roots

The Arden Route was created in collaboration with the sports association Jarl Arden, which also organises weekly training runs on the route during the summer season. The route is marked with posts at road crossings, making it easier to follow along the way.

You run on forest roads and paths through a quiet, green area of Rold Skov, where the terrain changes as you go. The route is manageable in length and is well suited to both regular runners and those who would like to try running in the forest.
