The Monkey Way

At the end of Boserup Forest, the route continues along Roskilde Fjord and further through Denmark's oldest psychiatric hospital area, Sct. Hans Hospital. The hospital area is located on high ground with a fantastic view of Roskilde Fjord. The older hospital buildings are of high architectural value, and the undeveloped areas are protected to ensure the area's landscape, cultural, and natural values.

Munkevejen continues through the neighborhood Sct. Jørgensbjerg, which with its old low half-timbered houses and narrow, steep alleys gives the neighborhood a special atmosphere. The neighborhood's church, Sct. Jørgensbjerg Church, was called Spedils Church - the church of the lepers - in the Middle Ages. Small loopholes in the wall into the church room testified that the place - very unusually - allowed the lepers to participate in the service.

The route continues past the Viking Ship Museum and up through Byparken - The park is one of the city's green oases and is protected to preserve the view over Roskilde Fjord. Munkevejen ends at Roskilde Cathedral, which is the royal burial church and is listed on UNESCO's World Heritage list. The name Roskilde tells of the many springs that are still visible.
