The Moesgård area, 10km south of the city centre, is a must for the Moesgård Museum, but the area's natural attractions warrant investigation too. An enjoyable walking trail , dubbed the ‘Prehistoric Trackway’ (Oldtidsstien) leads from behind the museum across fields of wildflowers, past grazing sheep and through beech woods down to Moesgård Strand , one of Aarhus’ best sandy beaches.
Pick up a brochure and trail map at the museum. You can walk one way and catch a bus from the beach back to the city, or follow the trail both ways as a 4km round-trip.
Frequent bus 18 from Aarhus terminates at the museum. Bus 31 runs in summer and terminates at Moesgård Strand.
