Sometimes there is snow in winter in Denmark, but appears more likely to me that it will be very windy, rainy, muddy and possibly gloomy as well. This was the weather I experienced on this trip which was a complete contrast to my experience last year where there were snow drifts of over a metre deep. I set off from Høruphav in the early afternoon in cool but sunny weather, the trail starts near the Hotel Baltic, originally established as a ferry inn in 1665 it is now a luxury hotel and restaurant. Passing the nearby harbour where some boats were still moored I followed the well made and marked path around the shoreline, with the sun shining and little breeze it was cool but enjoyable, gradually I left the day walkers and the dog walkers behind as I continued past Stenholt and into the Sønderskov forest.
