Description

Den Skæve Bane er en historisk og charmerende cykel- og vandresti, der snor sig mellem Grindsted og Funder ved Silkeborg, hvor en nu nedlagt jernbane i fordomstid forbandt en række midtjyske byer. Undervejs fra Grindsted løber stien gennem et fladt vestjysk landskab, præget af bl.a. plantager og flere steder passerer stien åer og vandløb. På denne rute oplever du, udover det smukke landskab, landsbyerne Filskov, Blåhøj, Drantum og Brande, Ejstrupholm, Hampen og Hjøllund.

The Wilkinson Memorial Trail is the longest trail in the Hudson Highlands Preserve. The trail is named for Samuel Wilkinson, a past president of the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference. It roughly follows the Dutchess-Putnam County line and is one of the few trails that crosses over the Breakneck/Fishkill Ridge. This trail receives less use than the super popular Breakneck and Casino Trails nearby, yet offers great views of the Hudson Valley, Catskill Mountains and New York City. The trail is roughly 7.7 miles long with 2600 feet of gain.
