After Bredebro, the Brede Å generally flows more calmly through the open expanses of the marshland. Four Cloverleaf Trails, ranging from 2.5 to 12.5 kilometres, offer a choice of distances. There are also cultural points of interest: a route through the original village of Brede and Brede Church at the old Bredevad ford crossing. When planning your visit, you can focus on the river landscape, a preferred walking distance or local history.

Routes between river landscape and village

The black Cloverleaf Trail is a nature route in the Brede Å valley, offering views of the river and the meadow landscape. This provides a specific landscape feature to consider when choosing a route. The cultural route has a different focus: it leads through the original village of Brede, where some typical farmhouses have been preserved. The two routes therefore differ in theme, with the river valley and meadows on one hand, and the village and farmhouses on the other.

Choose a Cloverleaf Trail by distance

The four routes are 2.5 km, 5 km, 7.5 km and 12.5 km long. The first three distances are each 2.5 km apart, followed by the 12.5 km route. The longest route is 10 km longer than the shortest and is five times as long. This range gives you a clear idea of the options: you can match the distance to your own day’s plans and decide which route is right for your stay.

Village history, church and exhibition

The cultural route through the original village of Brede leads to a village setting where some typical farmhouses have been preserved. Its cultural focus is therefore the village and its farmhouses. Brede Church offers a distinct connection to local religious history: it is a parish church in the northeastern part of Bredebro, immediately north of the Brede Å and at the old Bredevad ford crossing. Its precise location by the river and crossing sets it apart from the route through the village.

The official description of the “Æ Laut” exhibition at Toosbuys Torv mentions interactive elements and sound that offer insights into ECCO’s leather and footwear production. This adds a specific insight into leather and footwear production to Bredebro’s cultural offerings.
