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.

Join me on a walk in the beautifull nature reserve, Sund Hills with fine views over the town, Faaborg and the lake, Sundet.

I meet you at the parking space at the secundary school, Faaborg Gymnasium, Sundagervej 42. From here we follow trails up the spetacular hills.

The hills rise above Sundet, and at the top you have the most spectacular wiev of the old market town, Faaborg.

At the foot of the hills you can see the shallow lake, Sundet.

At the top we have a short coffee break, where you can enjoy the landscape and the wiev of the Bell Tower, Sundet and the Archipelago of South Funen.

During the walk, I will tell about the town, the landscape, and the bird life at the lake, Sundet. This lake is one of the only places in Funen where four different species af the Grebes are breeding.

This walk is not suited for people with walking difficulties.

Hike over the hill Bokul and then along a coastal path to Hestestenene. There's an amazing view over Bornholm's sea and cliffs the entire way. Maybe we'll meet underground dwarves or hear the echo of wild horses … Without a doubt the sun has always risen in the east, and still does over Bornholm.

We'll have ample opportunities to sit down along the road while I tell you stories about Bornholm's history. This nature walk will end at Nørresand, the town of Gudhjem's ''secret'' harbour.

This tour is for anyone from 5 years and over, since being able to walk on own strength will be required as we walk on cliffs and hills. We'll start on the parking lot at the gas station on Helligdomsvej 1 in Gudhjem.

Starting at the Old Harbor, Gammel Havn, in Middelfart, we hike at the coast of the Little Belt strait, Lillebælt, along Hindsgavl Peninsula. 

I'll tell you about the Little Belt Bridge, the underwater paths, the shelter culture, and the porpoises, which has really good conditions in the Little Belt strait, Lillebælt, and which we might be lucky to experience.

We'll pass Gals Klint with steep sandy cliffs and magnificent views of the sea. We'll moreover walk in the beautiful park by Hindsgavl Castle where we'll see the little tea-house from where, it is said, Hans Christian Andersen found inspiration for his fairytales. We'll continue the tour along the water to the dock by the Fænø Sund Strait. 

When we leave the coast to walk back to the Old Harbor, we'll walk through idyllic, old streets with crooked houses. A beautiful hike in Nature Park Little Belt. 

At Hindsgavl Castle, it is possible to extend the tour by going on a boat trip and sail on a "whale safari"  through the Little Belt back to the Old Harbor. It is simply a fantastic experience.
