Historically Ejer Bavnehøj was mostly known as a site for a beacon where signal-fires were lit in order to warn the military and local population if the enemy were on the way. The second part of the name, 'Bavnehøj', can literally be translated into 'Beacon Hill' ('bavne' meaning 'beacon' and 'høj', from the old Norse word 'haugr', meaning 'hill').
This is one of the longest climbs in Denmark and it's the third-highest natural point in Denmark. It's never steep but rather long and gradual. The hardest part is the first part. After that it's mostly false flat.
It's about almost 4 km but only around 3%. Ejer Bavnehøj was featured in the Giro d'Italia in 2012.
Road names: Tåningvej, Lille Tåningvej, Risvej & Ejer Bavnehøjvej
