Beds are listed within 2 km of the trail, shelters and camping within 1 km, plus any place further out that our stage plans use. Kilometres are measured along our trail data and are good to a few hundred metres. Hotels and B&Bs come from the Danish business register (CVR) and OpenStreetMap, shelters and campsites from GeoFA, buses from Rejseplanen (CC BY 4.0). This page reads them live and refreshes every few hours. If you book through our price links, we earn a small commission. You pay the same. How we collect the data

Plan your own walk, night by night

Tell ThWay how far you want to walk each day. It finds a place to sleep you can reach for every night, and where the trail has none, a bus into town and back. Each day is routed to the place you pick.
