Having spent the night with only four other walker and cyclists I left the hostel in the morning. I bought today's supplies at the local bakery. Then I visited the local rune stones which are located at the church with two megalithic graves. Together they are a World Heritage Site. Unfortunately the nearby museum opened only much later. A long stretch of pavement had to be covered today. At Haraldskat Fabrik the path turns unto the former railway Bindeballe. Shortly before reaching Vingstedt I visited an open air museum which was worth the time. Finally the pavement stopped at Ravningbroen. At Bindeballe I made a short side tour to the former railway station Bindeballe and the former old time shop. Ice cream was delicious. Towards evening it started raining. Back on pavement I arrived at the hostel Ølgård, which is located at the bicycle and not the walking route.
