From TrailLink.com:

An excellent example of land use in greater Chicago, the entire Skokie Valley Trail corridor is a rail-with-trail, paralleled by double tracks that sit about 40 feet to the west of the trail surface. The well-maintained asphalt path offers a nice, smooth experience for a multitude of uses. In addition, the trail shares right-of-way with a major electricity service company, and you will see high-voltage electrical wires overhead.

The Mols Bjerge trail connects one of Denmark's few National Parks. The route starts in the parking lot at Kalø Slotsruin and ends at the bus station in the beautiful coastal town of Ebeltoft. The route runs through some of Denmark's most iconic ice age landscapes, and on most days you can enjoy many spectacular views over the bay area. The route runs through several types of forest, open areas and agricultural land. The surface is primarily gravel road and single tracks, but also a bit of asphalt.

Description

One of the links in a prehistoric route often called the Greater Ridgeway, from The Wash to the South Devon Coast, this route basically extends the Ridgeway National Trail to the south-west. Passed on the way, through Wiltshire, are the stone circles at Avebury, the Vale of Pewsey, the northern edge of Salisbury Plain, the Wylye Valley and Win Green Hill. In Dorset Cranbourne Chase, Cerne Abbas with the 180ft high Cerne Giant and Pilsden Pen are visited before a short route through Devon leads to the finish in Dorset.
