This is a nice run in the southeastern part of Aalborg that combines three elements: Bundgårdsparken; paths around Aalborg University; and the small Gug Alper hiking area. Run them separately or combine for a longer run. We’ve mapped a one-way route using the good network of pedestrian and cycle paths to connect these areas.
Bundgårdsparken. Google Street ViewAalborg University. Google Street View
Start at Bundgårdsparken, a narrow park with a nice, 1.1 km path passing the Fireworks wood sculpture. Cross the main road, continuing south into Aalborg University, and run on the paths around the campus. Connect to the main east-west path through the campus, and head 1 km west. Continue onto the Panstien path headed west for ~2 km into the Gug Alper, a small hiking area with some hilly trails around an open, grassy area. There are nice views.
Overall, it’s 6.6 km one-way, so the route can be modified for those who’d like a shorter run.

The 7-8 km of waterfront paths along Limfjord Sound are among the highlights of running in Aalborg. We've put together a route that can be used as a guideline, includes a section across the water in Lindhom.
Scenic running on lovely gravel roads along the water and past farm fields. Egholm Island is reachable via a ferry, located 2 km west of Aalborg centre, that takes 5 minutes and runs every 1/2 hour. And very few cars!
A pleasant run in central Aalborg combining two parks, Kildeparken & Mølleparken. Optional 8 km loop includes Kridtgraven Lake. Mølleparken features a 2.5 km jogging track with a special Lysløjpen, a 45m gradient!
A short, scenic run in Østerådalen, a wetlands park in the southern part of Aalborg. A series of trails and some boardwalks wind around several bodies of water, with nice views of the wetlands and grasses.
Paths & lawns surround an 1800s manor house in a park famed for its many varieties of apple tree. 5-6 km of nice gravel trails wind around green, open terrain. Located in the Vejgård area in southern Aalborg.
