Rasteplads ved gl. Hærvej

Here is a good stop for those who just need to stretch their legs before the drive continues. First, however, you can enjoy your packed lunch at the tables/benches. 

Tour suggestions: 
Close to the rest area is one of Denmark's best-preserved stone ships. It is a 45 m long stone ship and rune stone from the Viking Age. From the rune stone we can understand that it was a local magnate named Ravnunge-Tue who erected the monument for his mother Vibrog. 
Through it all, there are clear traces of the Ancient Road, which crossed the monument in the Middle Ages. In addition, there are two burial mounds that have been dated to the Early Bronze Age. 

If you have become interested in rune stones, you can also take a trip past Bække Church, where another rune stone has been erected by Ravnunge-Tue. A cautious guess is that he, together with Fundin and Gnyple , erected the stone for Queen Thyra in Jelling, which means that the stone is dated to approx. the year 925. 

The area is full of stories, and one of them is about the Hamburg Courtyard Stone. Saxo writes in Danmarks krønike  that Harald Bluetooth tried to move it to Jelling, where it was supposed to have been a memorial stone for his mother.
The stone weighs approx. 50 tons. 

If you need to get some energy out of your little legs, there is a playground in Bække Anlæg, where you can also see the Mermaid Fountain , which is designed in granite by Niels Hansen Jacobsen. 

The Ancient Road and the Coast-to-Coast Path cross tracks in Bække and form good starting points for walks in the area.
