Hiking trail in Uhrehøje Plantation (circular route, 7 km, yellow route)

There are four hiking trails in Uhrehøje and Myrhøj Plantation, which can advantageously be combined. The yellow trail is 7 km long and takes you through the plantation’s impressive natural scenery.

In the heart of Vesthimmerland’s nature, the Uhrehøje and Myrhøj Plantations hide four varied hiking routes, each offering unique nature experiences.

Here you can experience everything from peaceful forest paths and open heathlands to bird-rich bogs and old gravel pits. Whether you prefer a short, relaxed walk or a longer hike through hilly terrain, you’ll find a route to suit you.

Lace up your shoes and let the scents, sounds, and landscapes of the forest guide you into nature.

Starting point for the hiking route

By car or bicycle

Park at the parking area at Farsøvej 95. This is also the starting point for the white and green routes.

Along Farsøvej is the house belonging to Uhrehøje – Teambuilding and Event, which can be rented for corporate events, parties, or holidays. The house is not open to the public.

The MTB club has installed a defibrillator at the house – which everyone is of course welcome to use.

By public transport

If you arrive by public transport, the nearest bus stop is located 1.6 km from the parking area. The stop is called “Sjørup Gårde (Farsøvej/Vesthimmerlands Kommune)” and is served by bus line 522 operated by NT (Nordjyllands Trafikselskab).

Use Rejseplanen.dk or the NT app for the exact route from your starting point.
Check if your bus requires advance booking – especially Telebus lines (typically 522).
Important: Check timetables and booking requirements.

Good to know about marking, type, and length
