 Two of Denmark’s oldest settlements, Viborg and Jelling are situated along the road.In the southern, narrow part of the Jutish peninsula the trackway followed the edge of western marshes and eastern moraine country.Near Haderslev, Åbenrå, Flensburg, and Schleswig, it branched into western bypasses on the hills and accesses to the towns, each of them localized at the inner end of a long, narrow bay.
