Amager Clover Trail - Red Route

The Clover trail (red route) is approximately 8.6 km long and generally takes around 2 hours and 9 minutes to complete. This duration can vary based on your pace and how often you stop to enjoy the surroundings.

The route is relatively flat, with minimal elevation changes. You can expect a mix of natural paths, possibly some gravel, and potentially soft, loamy sections, especially after rain. While the elevation gain is low, the 'red route' designation often implies a slightly more challenging or longer path compared to other routes in the area, contributing to its 'moderate' difficulty rating.

Along the route, you'll encounter several points of interest. These include The Ark at Himmelhøj Nature Playground, Store Høj Søen, and the Nature Center Amager, which offers facilities and information about the park.

Given its moderate difficulty and relatively flat terrain, the route is generally suitable for beginners and families.
