Hærvejen

In the southern, narrow part of the Jutish peninsula the trackway followed the edge of western marshes and eastern moraine country.

Near Haderslev, Åbenrå, Flensburg, and Schleswig, it branched into western bypasses on the hills and accesses to the towns, each of them localized at the inner end of a long, narrow bay.

One of the southern ends of the Ochsenweg has given its name to a suburb of Hamburg: Ochsenzoll is the locality of the ancient custom post.

[5] An easterly bypass headed for Zollenspieker Ferry (a Hamburg-Lübeckian condominium between 1420 and 1868[6]), passing the same river towards Hoopte in the then Principality of Lunenburg.

The most important commodity was livestock (especially the eponymous oxen), but also amber, hides, honey and fur went south.
