Again, I was the only person spending the night at the pilgrims' hostel of Kongeåen and I left early in the morning. Today I wanted to reach the hostel in Vojens. The path is mostly along gravel roads. Near Stursbøl I made a short side trip to the ford of river at Mojbøl. This is probably a historically quite interesting site but not really worth the detour. The scenery became very nice in Oksenvad Hede. The path follows river Nørreå for quite a while. As the E1 follows here the same route as the Pilgrims Route I came across a rest area just like the ones I had seen south of Flensburg. It invited for a short break. Several times I saw major Christmas tree plantations. This is where a major share of the trees sold in northern Germany come from. Ready for a good nights sleep I arrived in the evening at the pilgrim hostel of Vojens at Tørninggård Mølle. This was a great, long and mostly sunny day.
