Map of the E1 in Denmark. From Grenaa via Aarhus and Silkeborg to Padborg on the German border.

Key data

  • Stages: 16
  • Distance: 383 km
  • Total ascent: 1.077 m
  • Total descent: 1.132 m

The E1 in Denmark has a total length of about 375 km und is divided into 16 stages

The E1 leads from Grenå on the Molsroute to Århus. It continues on the trail Århus - Silkeborg close to Silkeborg. After a short section on the trail Silkeborg - Horsens it continues from Vrads on the Hærvejen to Padborg.

As the ferry service between Grenå (Denmark) and Halmstad/Varberg (Sweden) has been suspended, the European Ramblers’ Association recommends an alternative route in northern Denmark via the Hærvejen (Military Road) from Frederikshavn heading south. Near Silkeborg, this route rejoins the main E1 trail. There is an active ferry service between Frederikshavn and Gothenburg.
