Nature walk

Discover the forest Trelde Næs Skoven with a knowledgeable guide. The forest has been included in the Danish Nature Canon as resently as 2018. The Trelde Næs forest is located where Vejle Fjord opens into Lillebælt, the Little Belt.

You have the opportunity to experience a very dramatic landscape giving magnificent views beyond Vejle Fiord and the Little Belt. If the weather permits, we can see all the way to the island and nature sanctury Æbelø at North Funen.

At Trelde Næs we have regular landslides into the Little Belt and with the landslides big trees go down as well. Somehow it is like being in far distant countries. The lighthouse at the tip of Trelde Næs has been moved 3 times within the last 100 years due to the landslides.

The site is now owned by Fredericia Municipality and is a protected area. The Trelde Næs forest holds a rather exciting story. I begin my story with the 1919 nouveau riche, false guarantees and frauds and of Ane, a very special and rather determined lady who took up the fight against curious tourists as well as the German Wehrmacht all by herself.

A tour concentrated around Klinkerskoven and the old industrial area close to Sorthat/Muleby south of Hasle on Western Bornholm, bearing many traces of the raw material industries of the area.

We'll visit Hasle Klint to see the signs and traces in the landscape marked by this industry, which was ended in 1996. Even so most Danes know Hasle Tiles even today. Walking the streets of Denmark's provincial cities you can often see all sorts of items that originate from the factories of this area on Bornholm. Anything from feeding troughs to the fire-resistant stones used in tile ovens come from here.

We'll take a walk in this exciting area, full of sights such as old battlements, excavations and lakes, all telling their very own story.

The area offers a lot of interesting geological features, an industrial history, clay, gravel, coal and a military history with fortifications and cannons right in the middle of an amazing nature that is characteristic of the area today.

We'll find the sights and explore the area together!

Join me on a walk in the beautiful area around Knold, where we can enjoy the unique and varied coastal landscape consisting of stoned beach, tidal meadows and steep cliffs inhabited by Sand Martins.

I will meet you at the parking space, Knoldsvej 10.

On our walk we will pass the old bathhouses from the 1950s.

From Knold you have a spectacular view over the Archipelago of South Funen with the islands Lyø, Bjørnø, Avernakø and Ærø.

During the walk I will tell the story of the old bathhouses, how the landscape has been formed and about the specific types of birds and plants living at the Coast.

The walk is not suited for people with walking difficulties.

In April 1945, an aeroplane was shot down over Kattegat during a search for a submarine. It ended its days in Torstedlund Forest in the north of Jutland.

With great drama and turmoil, all whom had been on board were buried in the forest. Years later they were moved to the cemetery in Aarestrup.

Hear the story told during a walk to the memorial.

To get to Aarestrup cemetery you may need a coach or car.
