English summary :
"Den Danske Klosterrute" ("The Danish Monastic Route") is a tourist and pilgrimage hiking route through Denmark with a thematic focus on church, art, history and nature.
It is accessible on bicycle as well.
The route connects approximately forty middle-age monastery locations.
Where possible it also includes historical roads and local pilgrimage destinations.
The route is not separately marked on the landscape, but partly follows other marked paths.
A guidebook series is planned under the common name "Den Danske Klosterrute" (Danish text, maps 1:50.000) from the publishing house Unitas, Copenhagen (www.unitasforlag.dk).
So far, two volumes have been released, guiding the reader through
1) the Danish-German borderlands up to the town of Ribe and along the southwest Jutland coastal mudflats, and
2) the area from Ribe to Viborg, including the ancient track "Hærvejen" and the lake highlands around Silkeborg.
