The Danish author Henrik Pontoppidan (1857-1943) received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1917 for his authentic portrayal of everyday life in Denmark, including in his short story collection “From the Huts” and the novel “The Promised Land”. Both works are clearly inspired by everyday life among the countryside residents and the experiences Pontoppidan had during the years he lived in Østby with his family.

The bike route offers a ride through the beautiful peninsula Hornsherred the way it appears today. However, while some things are different, the landscape, the church, the prebendal house, and many other things remain the way they were during Pontoppidan’s time. The Pontoppidan route will lead you past Selsø Church, with its postcard beauty, through Skibby and onwards to Skuldelev.
