Experience one of Denmark's most well-preserved castles. Rosenborg is home to the Danish crown jewels, but also has a unique collection of art, furniture, and quirky items.

We will explore the favorite castle of king Christian IV, known as the great "builder king" in Danish history. We will admire the magnificent furniture and decorated rooms, while learning about the sometimes funny, sometimes sad stories of kings and queens of the past.

Experience the story of Christian IV's death and see the treasures from his legendary battle against the Swedes, which provided inspiration for one of Denmark's national anthems.

Learn about the royal scandal that resulted in the creation of the current Queen's Crown and discover the sarcastic "gift" that a king gave to his unfaithful wife.

We start the tour with a visit to Rosenborg Castle, which was previously the kings' summer house outside Copenhagen's city limits. We visit the well-preserved rooms where the royal family previously lived and see the crown jewels in the basement, which are some of Europe's oldest.

Afterwards, we will stroll through the King's Garden, greeting Hans Christian Andersen's statue along the way, and wander through king Frederik V's distinguished "City of Frederik" to Amalienborg Palace. Here you can admire one of the most beautiful palace squares in Northern Europe, admire the royal guards, and learn why the four mansions of Amalienborg jointly became the royal family's permanent Copenhagen residence.

Depending on how early you want to start the tour, we can finish by seeing the royal guard exchange at noon. The tour can also be extended to a long city walk in Copenhagen.

We take a nice bike ride from Lejre to Roskilde, where we follow in the footsteps of the Vikings.

We take the train to Roskilde, with possibility of renting bicycles, if you do not already have your own bicycle. We go from Roskilde by train to Lejre, where the best landscape with Viking monuments is located. I'll tell the story of among other things Beowolf, as it unfolded here on the spot. When we come to Roskilde, we visit the Viking Ship Museum, where it is possible to sail on a real Viking ship and where you can also enjoy a Viking meal! If we have time, we go on a short city-walk in Roskilde, where we also have to drop off the bikes, if they are rented.

Do you want to come close to the Vikings?

This is a unique opportunity to encounter nature in the land of the Vikings, by going on this walking tour through fanstastic landscapes, Viking monuments, and learn about the history of Vikings.

We take the train from Roskilde, or I can join you in Copenhagen, to Lejre where we start walking in the morning and reach Roskilde in the afternoon. At the arrival in Roskilde we can relax and enjoy the amazing view towards the fiords next to the Viking Ship Museum and maybe come out sailing on an authentic Viking ship.

Get a great experience with a canoe tour in the beautiful valley of the Vejle stream.

Enjoying the quiet beauty of nature is best experienced in the middle of it, and with the stream being the epicenter of nature in Vejle, there is no better way to get into in than getting in a canoe and experience it all from the Water side.

You can take a canoe tour from 2 to 7 hours. Plan an active day in the canoe with lunch and coffee. The perfect time for the entire family.

All necessary equipment is included.

The price is DKK 300 per person (min. 4 people).

For reasons of nature protection, it is only allowed to 15  sail on the river from 16 June to 15 October.

The guided tour begins at the ferry to Bjørnø in the harbour of Faaborg. 

You will visit the little village, Bjørnø By, with the old half-timbered farmhouses and stone fences.

On the walk round the island, you will enjoy the beautiful landscape, the birds and the wild plants of the location and the different types of coast at first hand.

I will find a nice spot, where you can eat our packed lunch.

During the walk, I will tell about the formation of the archipelago, landscape formation today, and the everyday life on the island.

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.

Langelinie  – a cultural-historical walk at the promenade in Faaborg. 

We will meet at the parking area Chr. D. IXs vej near by the old railway station. It is an interesting and varied walk just less than 2 hours.

From there we walk to the harbour and follow the promenade, Langeline, with the unique sloping stone setting of beautifully carved stone towards the sea. Along the seafront you can enjoy the view of the small islands at the archipelago, Bjørnø, Svelmø, Avernakø-Korshavn and Horne Land. It is an impressive sight no matter what the weather is like.

The seafront has great cultural and historical interest and tells us about the advance of Faaborg during more than 100 years.

Here is Old and New Assistens Churchyard, and the Jewish burial ground. Here are houses from different ages and green parks.

I will tell you about the life on this passage during more than 100 years and about all the interesting sights we pass by – including fight with England and graves from famous Funen painters and English soldiers killed during World War II.

On our walk back we will walk through Østerbrogade with old idyllic townhouses in different colours, where hollyhock and roses are growing up the walls. 

When we end our walk, there is a possibility for a swim at the Harbour Bassin if you would like.

We'll take a boat down along Odense River. A child-friendly and informative guided experience.

I'll tell you about the beautiful villas in Hunderup, the local sports teams and the University Hospital.

I'll also tell you about the surrounding nature and the story about why there are too many male ducks in the river. If you see a camel upon passing by Odense Zoo, I can tell you exactly how it got its characteristic hump.

At Fruens Bøge we can walk through the forest, find a secret cave, jump over stepping stones to ford a stream, and kids can play around in the natural playground. We can even organise role-playing games that take interest and age-group into consideration.

Refreshments can either be brought along from home or bought in Munke Mose park, Skovsøens ice cream shop or restaurant Carlslund. Guideservice Danmark will gladly assist with placing orders.

Den Fynske Landsby, the Funen Village, is an open-air museum, where you can learn about living conditions and village life in Denmark in the 18th and 19th centuries.

This open-air museum for agriculture and rural life on Fyn was opened in 1946 and consists of almost 30 buildings, which have been moved here from all over Funen and meticulously rebuilt. This museum attempts to recreate an authentic village environment of the 18th and 19th centuries with clear social barriers reflected in the buildings: from the smallholder to the farmer and from the workhouse to the rectory and moreover the water mill, the windmill and finally the village school.

Den Fynske Landsby is situated in the beautiful woods near the forests Hunderup and Fruens Bøge, and the walk there is enjoyable in its own right, but you certainly get a deeper understanding if you visit the buildings and have a look inside. They are furnished with authentic pieces and kitchen utensils from the period.

On the outskirts of the village the 200 year old inn is open for business. During the season you can enjoy your tea or coffee in their beautiful garden and the restaurant stays open all year round.

Guided bike tour from Ringe (in the middle of Funen) by a disused railway line, now asphalted road and utmost comfortable for biking. We will ride at a moderate pace through the beautiful landscape of Funen from Ringe to Korinth and to the manor house of Brahetrolleborg.

We will pass by the manor of Boltinggård, the small towns of Espe and Højrup, the Viking castle of the designer Jim Lyngvild, Ravnsborg, to Korinth with its recently restored charming inn. From here we go to Brahetrolleborg and pay a visit to the church containing a beautiful baptismal font made by the famous Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen. Our ride back to Ringe can be by smaller side roads or by the disused railway line again, if that is preferable.

The countryside is not very hilly, and we will make reasonable stops on the way, both for drinking and for pieces of information. I recommend the use of a bicycle helmet.

The tour starts and ends at Ringe Railway Station. Total distance about 36 km.

On either side of the Oresund near to Copenhagen there sits a magnificent cathedral. Roskilde cathedral is a UNESCO world heritage site and the burial place of the Danish monarchy. Lund cathedral is one of the glories of medieval architecture and contains one of the oldest astronomical clocks in the world.

Roskilde and Lund are themselves very charming cities that are among the oldest settlements in Scandinavia.

The tour starts in Copenhagen from where we drive to Roskilde and head to the cathedral; we also explore the old centre of this appealing small city.

We then cross over the Oresund Bridge, one of the architectural marvels of the modern age, to Sweden and then head to Lund cathedral. We also explore the centre of this delightful University City before heading back to Copenhagen again.
