Our names are Katrine Boserup and Jeppe Løgstrup
We are both trained school teachers and work respectively as a practice coordinator and an independent psychotherapist.
For the past 10 years we have found a lot of joy in hiking. Both in Denmark and abroad.
We both come from the area around Djursland. Katrine was raised north of Aarhus and Jeppe in Grenå. We live in Sdr. Bjert, but spends all our free time in our holiday home in Grenå.
A few years ago, we walked a large part of the West Coast Path and were inspired to do a similar project on Djursland. We love the versatile nature on Djurslandsstien and would like to give more people the opportunity to see and hike it without having to think about carrying luggage.
**If you have any questions about the hike or feedback, we'd love to hear from you. **
