The little short, 9 km

Køge Municipality has, in collaboration with Visit Køge and Knud Nielsen from the Danish Cyclists' Federation, proposed 8 cycling routes. The tour proposals vary in length - from 9 km to 45 km and they are located in different parts of the municipality, all starting from Køge Torv.

1. The short little 9 km tour. On this cycling trip, you will experience: Vasebækgård - Åshøj – Hastrupsøerne.

Vasebækgård, a large old farm owned by the manor Gammelkjøgegaard.

Åshøj, a cozy old village that is an example of a star-replaced village. This means that each farm has direct access to its own fields. Previously, the lands could be located elsewhere, but during the restructuring related to the land reform in the 1800s, the farmers gathered their land into one coherent field. Earlier, the common space by the street pond was used as a cattle pasture. Today, you can still sense this space. The village also features a well-preserved thatched 3-winged farm from the late 1600s.

Hastrupsøerne, 2 artificial lakes that get their "water supply" from Ellebækken - a dammed stream that comes from the west. The upper/western lake is reserved for bird life. Here, birds can breed and live in peace and quiet. The lower/eastern lake is designed for recreational purposes. The lakes are separated by a bridge.
