Besides me only some pipeline workers staid for the night at the hostel. Today's goal was to reach the former border of the German Reich. As the hostel is located off the walking path I started off with walking along a highway. Last nights rain had stopped. The place Hamborg turned out to be just a few houses and not to be as large as shown on the map. Near Klebæk Høje and immediately adjacent to the parth there are two megalithic graves. They are about 3,000 years old. The Vikings enlarged it with a 45 m long ship stile grave. At Vojens I stopped for a late lunch. In early evening I reached the bridge Frihedsbroen crossing river Kongeåen. From here it was a short walk to the hostel.
