Guide Service in all of Jutland

A guided walk in Vejle is the exciting tale of water, the name Vejle also comes from  the word Ford – meaning place where you cross water.

The water has in many ways shaped and continues to shape Vejle – here we must link the past, present and future, nature, industry and architecture in a story about Vejle's ascending path of the river mouth, about industry powered by hydropower, but also Vejle as a harbour city.

At the same time, the water is the theme of the city's most eye-catching architecture, the Wave, Bølgen and the Fiord House, Fjordenhus – and the water presense as a consequence of climate change and the city's resilience planning and exposure.

On our tour and guided walk around the city with visits to the locks, the river, the low lying areas, the Spinners' Halls and the waterfront, I tell the great and many stories about the Vejle of the Water.

We end the city walk at Økolariet, which has a fine illustration of various scenarios for flooding of Vejle. There is the possibility of free admission during the opening hours of Økolariet after our city walk.

The Haraldskær estate has an intriguing history which I'll reveal to you during this guided tour.

The story begins at Skibet church, which is thoroughly renovated. Skibet church lays in the main traffic intersection north-west and north-south.

From Skibet church we'll walk to Sinatur Hotel Haraldskær, where we can have coffee. While having coffee I'll tell you the exciting story of Haraldskær, which is mentioned for the first time in Eric of Pomerania's time, when it belonged to Nils Fris in 1434, who was a famous member of the Danish noble family.

Esbjerg – exciting tour in the youngest Danish city.

Once I read in a newspaper that there are no tourist in Esbjerg, just travelers passing by. It can make sence, if you know that Esbjerg is the youngest Danish city, so what can one expect going to Esbjerg? Once you have been in the city, you understand that even of a short period of it existence, Esbjerg can talk and show us the story of the developing from a small fishing village into Denmark's fifth largest city with great offshore activities.  

Esbjerg can surprise you with its structured city plan, several interesting museums. The Fisheries and Maritime Museum is one of those.

In my guided city walk I will show and tell you about Esbjerg, its history and stories.

We walk from Tunø Harbour all the way around the island, which is approximately 8.5 km. We see the steep cliffs found on both sides of the island and maybe we are lucky to see the rare sea bird "tejst".

The trip ends in Tunø town, where we visit the small and charming church. For a small fee it is possible to visit the church tower/lighthouse.

The afternoon is at your own disposal. The ferry departs at 16.40. Arrival at Hou an hour later.

Bring a packed lunch or choose to have lunch served at the inn, "Mejeriet" or "Røgeriet".

Alternatively, a shorter trip can be arranged, approximately 6 km.

This is a full day trip, but can also be arranged for tourists staying on Tunø.

This tour must be reserved at least two days ahead (seat reservation on the ferry is mandatory).

The meeting place is Hou Harbor 20 minutes before the morning ferry departure.

For tourists staying on Tunø the meeting place is the Tunø ferry port when the morning ferry arrives.

The Old Town Museum in Aarhus is the world's first open-air museum for the culture and history of market towns, and first opened its doors in 1909.

Today the museum is visited by more than 350,000 guests a year, and has been rewarded the maximum 3 stars by the world-famous Guide Michelin.

The museum houses 75 houses from different areas in Denmark, and walking around the Old Town Museum is like jumping into the time machine and experiencing life as it was in a typical Danish city from the 16th to the 20th century, complete with shops, horse drawn carriages and people dressed as they would have at the time of Hans Christian Andersen the famous Danish fairytale writer.

I invite you inside many of the historic buildings, including the building that used to be opposite Hans Christian Andersen's childhood home in Odense, which was where he was first introduced to the wonderful world of books. I shall also show you the 17th-century pharmacy packed with mysterious medicines and the associated Baroque pharmacy gardens with about 100 different herbs.

Are you more interested in recent history and do you remember Bob Dylan, the hippies and your first television? Then you can also experience the year 1974 which is now part of the Old Town Museum. In this part of the museum I can walk you down the avenue of memories, where we stop at the sausage trolley, flatten our noses at window at Poul's Radio or visit the collective.

Whether you are fascinated by old or recent history it is also a good idea to set aside time to enjoy some traditional Danish cakes from The Old Town Bakery as well as a cup of tea or coffee after the tour.

City Walk in Denmark's oldest and most beautiful city, Ribe.

A story about Denmark's oldest, and for as far as I'm concerned, most beautiful city. Ribe lies in a lovely location by the mouth of the Kongeå river, which flows into the North Sea, and has its very own unique history to recount.

Have you always dreamt about going on an adventure? Then let's go to Ribe! This city feels like something straight out of one of Hans Christian Andersens' fairytales: narrow alleyways, crooked and colourful houses, stories about witches, and much more!

Experience an unforgettable encounter with a part of Denmark's magnificent history on this city walk: Vikings, witches and storm surges on the river.

We'll certainly also be going to Ribe cathedral and visits to several museums can be arranged.

A short introduction to a city on the water.

The tour will start outside CLAY Ceramics Museum, and we will follow the ceramic tiles around the city. During the guided walk we will make several stops at historical sites, enjoy the stunning views, and study some of the local efforts of adapting to the massive rainfalls that challenge the city with increasing climate change.

The tour will end at the entrance to CLAY Ceramics Museum.

A guided tour of the museum can be pre-booked or you can enjoy the lovely museum on your own.

The city that prospers because of the blue gold

Esbjerg is the youngest city in Denmark and from its position it gives us a fascinating story about defeat, wars, sailing, fishing and shipping. It tells us about the aftermath of the war in 1864 and how Esbjerg became one of the largest ports in Denmark but employs the fewest people.

On a guided tour of Esbjerg includes the story of the port and its significance for the city. From the central Esbjerg Water Tower you have a magnificent view of Denmark's largest port and the offshore activities.

We walk the central streets of Esbjerg while I reveal Esbjergs historical secrets.

We can include a tour in the city's big garden, the famous Vognsbøl Park where you can enjoy bird watching and deers as well as incorporate a visit to the city's signature: The statue of the 4 White Men by Sven Wiig Hansen and pay a visit to the Fisheries and Maritime Museum.

If you want to visit the city centre, Vognsbøl Parken, the 4 White Men and the Fisheries and Maritimes Museum, you will need either a car, bike or public transport and plan for 4 hours.

A walking tour in the city centre lasts 1 hour.

Aalborg was once an industrial city with the large Aalborg Shipyard, the tobacco industry and not least the Spirits Factory.

The tour will include the old town with the cobbled stones, Budolfi Church, Aalborg Holy Spirit Monastery and the Jens Bang's Stone House.

We will also visit the new waterfront by the Limfjord with all the new fantastic buildings such as the Music House and Utzon's house.

Meet the Danes in the Memorial Park, Mindeparken, and enjoy the sight of the sea. In this peaceful park people run, do outdoor fitness and celebrating birthdays underneath the shadow of big trees.

When the royal family is in town people will gather at the entrance of the Marselisborg Palace to catch a glimpse of Queen Margrethe, Crownprince Frederik and his wife Mary and their charming family. Come join us!

The public have acces to the royal park with the beatiful roses and lots of sculptures when the royal family is out of town. Let us go for a walk in the park and imagine ourselves being royal…

Right next to the royal garden is another awesome place of interest – a botanical garden with trees from all over the world. Quiet, astonishing and beautiful.

Why are danish universities so good, and what makes Aarhus a good place to study?

Aarhus is the danish city with the liveliest population and the highest IQ! This dynamic pearl of a city is located on the east coast of Jutland facing Kattegat and it is home to a university with about 30.000 students. Their joie de vivre and eagerness and youthful energy evidently leaves its mark on the atmosphere and face of the city.

We will see how and why while walking across the most beautiful campus in the country, the Universitetsparken in Aarhus. Until the nineteenthirties, the area was taken up by allotments. At that time the landscape designes worked a small miracle and the beautiful buildings were designed by the world renowned architects from C. F. Møllers tegnestue. The result was spectacular – but by and by the university grew, however, buildings were expanded and new ones were built. Finally a decision had to be reached, to either bulid more or keep the trees and hills, the small lakes and the brook – and consequently to move some of the institutes elsewhere. Some academic activities had to move to a new home.

We will also visit some parts of these new academic areas. The tour starts in front of the Institute for Geoscience, we wil start by traversing the original Universitetsparken and also visit some of the newer parts of the complete Campus.

Visit the oldest building in Aarhus dating back to 1200 AD. Hear why such a large cathedral was built in the middle ages in a small town of only around 1500 inhabitants.

Aarhus Cathedral is the biggest church in Denmark and also the one with the most frescoes that each and every one tells an interesting story.   

Brick was a new material at that time and the 11 million bricks used in building the cathedral in Aarhus were handmade and produced just around the corner.

The Cathedral holds many interesting tales about people, memorial plaques, frescoes and other features. I shall also tell you about the guard in the cathedral tower, who keept watch in case of fire in the small town. Further more the church was a favorite place for burials, and approximately 2,000 souls are buried here.

There is a rather interesting story about the Bishop Jens Iversen Lange, who made sure you will remember him, by putting his personal seal on everything inside the church, including the church tower itself. I'll show you.

Hear about the baptisms in the early days of the church, how the priest sometimes had to brake down the ice to immerse the babies or why a model of a war ship intended for the Russian Zar ended up in a church in Aarhus.       

Guided walk in the cobbled streets of Ebeltoft, a market town since 1301.

Danes call Djursland the "nose" of Jutland. Take a look at the map and see for yourself why. This is where Ebeltoft lies.

150 years ago the full-rigged ship Fregatten Jylland, the Fregat Jutland, took part in the see battle of Helgoland. Come and explore the ship today. Of course I'll tell you more about the fregat which is now a museum worth exploring.

What is the story of the building, which is now used for the Glass museum. And what plans does Ebeltoft have with the former maltings?

Let's enjoy the cobbled streets and the beautiful half-timbered houses, while we stroll through Ebeltoft, and let me tell you all about the town.

Vejle city council enacted an architectural policy as the first city council in Denmark. Come along on this city walk and experience the significance of this visionary policy.

Since 1997 Vejle's city council has had a clear attitude to the city's architecture, which has made a great impact on the buildings, the urban spaces and parks later built.

Experience the architecture and hear the stories about the city park, the music theatre, the art museum, the roundabout, the midpoint of Vejle and many more exciting new places such as the Wave and Fjordenhus. Naturally, I'll spice up the city walk by including the stories of the city's older buildings, which we pass on our walk through the city.

A city walk, which will be exciting for both new and old residents of Vejle and all with an interest in architecture and urban spaces.

Experience culture and history in Aalborg.

City walk that will start and end at Aalborghus Castle. On the route we will see the various important buildings in Aalborg city centre. I will talk about the history of the city and the cultural development. We will look at the special structure of Aalborg city. During the tour we will also look at the development and significance of the waterfront.

If you wish, I can show you special culinary places.

After the city walk, it is possible to visit museums and other exciting places in Aalborg on your own.

On this coach tour we take a look at the most important historic monuments in the Danish market town of Randers.

The tour includes, amongst other monuments, the statue of mother and child commemorating the re-unification in 1920 of Denmark and Southern Jutland, formerly North Schleswig part of the county of Schleswig conquered by the German states from Denmark in the war of 1864. It is one of the most beautiful historic monuments in Denmark. 

We also stop by the statue of Niels Ebbesen in central Randers commemorating him for his killing of count Gert of Holstein in 1241. Officially this monuments only commemorates Niels Ebbesen, as a Danish national hero, but unofficially before the re-unification in 1920 it also commemorated Danish national identity amongst those Danes who were forced to live as Germans in Southern Jutland between 1864 and 1920.

The War of 1864 (The second Schleswian war) is a decisive event in the Danish history. The Battle of Dybbøl was the bloody and for Denmark traumatic end of the war.

At the very battlefield, which by the way is situated in one of Denmark's most beautiful and scenic areas, I will tell you about both the political and strategic reasons for the war. I will tell about the cause of the war, terminating in the battle of Dybbøl, and about the consequences both to Denmark and to Germany.

I have a military background and will tell you vivedly about both the big picture of the war and the battle, combined with interesting details concerning the equipment, training and living conditions of the Danish and German soldiers.

During the storytelling I will walk you through the battlefield. You will visit the remains of the entrenchments, then have a look at the canons placed at Dybbøl Wind Mill (which is a national symbol of Denmark) followed by a visit to soldiers' graves. In addition there is the possibility of visiting Dybbøl Museum. 

Frederiksgade, Frederik's Street, named after a Danish King is one of the oldest streets in the city of Aarhus and it dates back to the middle ages.

Along the street there was in the middle ages a Carmelite convent and only a few years ago archaeologists discovered its cemetery in the back yard of no. 78. In front of that same adress was the town gate towards Brobjerg, which was then the country side.

Also buildings from the 17th to the 19th century are still preserved in the street and this tour will show you their interesting back yards where you can still see what some of them were used for in the past. The street is also renowned for its many beautiful cast iron gates.

This historic walk can last 1-2 hours according to your wishes and shorter versions are also available.
