Hiking trails emerge in the Danish nature, so you can easily find the shoes.

The temperature is on the rise, the sun is out for more hours a day, and it can lure more people to lace up their hiking boots and venture into the Danish countryside.

There are already many registered trails, and the number is growing.

In 2021, there were 13,775 kilometers of hiking trails registered in Denmark, and that number had risen to 18,303 kilometers by 2023.

This does not mean that only new hiking trails have been added, but also that many existing paths have been registered.

According to data from the GeoFA database, which collects outdoor recreation data from municipalities, the state, and Naturstyrelsen, writes Kristeligt Dagblad.

To make it even easier to go hiking, Naturstyrelsen is now working on connecting existing hiking trails and establishing new ones.

In total, approximately 15,000 kilometers of hiking trails will be marked, and up to 1,000 information panels and signs will be installed.

And Jesper Tranberg, office chief for areas and outdoor life at Naturstyrelsen, hopes it will succeed.

- We hope that by connecting relatively few kilometers of trail, we can create a longer route, he says.
