Boserup forest is among the most beautiful forests in Denmark. Let me show you on this guided walk by Roskilde.

Wood anemones and lots of other flowers grow under the trees, including lots of edible plants. The forest is known as one of the best forests to go hunting for morels. Along the fiord plants like common scurvy grass and sea arrowgrass can be found together with several species of seaweed. We will find the plants, taste them, find out how to use them and collect some for your supper.

I will tell you about the New Nordic Kitchen and why the Chinese have become so interested in it. You can continue after the tour with your own picnic, a grill party, a swim in the fiord or perhaps stay overnight in a shelter. 

The story of dramatic history of the forest and the way it is managed in modern times is part of the tour.

Bring with you food and something to drink.

Guided tour in Copenhagen. The film tells about a Danish painter Gerda Wegener and her life with her husband Einar Wegener, an artist himself.

He was transsexuel and changed his identity into the woman Lili Elbe. The film describes the changes not only for Einar but also for Gerda, who had to say farewell to the man she married and to become a close friend to Lili.

The film tells about ther lives in Copenhagen during the 1920's and we will follow in their footsteps on this city walk and listen to the story.

Guided tour for groups.

On a guided walk in Reersø you'll experience the charming little village with timber-framed houses, a tavern by the church and docks for local fishery.

You'll hear about why Reersø received a tax-exempt status in the 15th century, where the typical tail-less cats descend from and much more on this walk.

Many artists decided to settle on the island so there are both potters' studios and art galleries.

After the guided walk, I suggest and recommend that you take a little excursion into nature on your own. 

Just east from the peninsula, there's a place called ''The Bottle'' (Flasken), which is a wet area with an abundance of birdlife such as migratory birds, ducks, geese and elders. Here you're bound to see kestrels, common buzzards and even sea eagles, if you're lucky.

To the west of the village, the landscape shoots up and then descends steeply into the Great Belt Strait. Here you're offered a beautiful view over the island of Funen, on the other shore. Walking along the beach, you might just stumble upon remnants from the stone-age, pieces of flint both natural and worked by hand; evidences of ancient humans in the area.

On this city walk in Copenhagen I show you some of the beautiful buildings erected by King Christian the 4th. We will meet at the Old Square, Gammel Torv.

From there vi head towards the brew-house, the Royale Arsenal Museum, we pass the Stock Exchange, Holmens Church and look towards Christianshavn and Christania.

We cross through the city to the Round Tower, and if you like we can walk up the tower. I will tell you about all the symbols of the tower and show what has been designed by Christian the 4th himself. Before we continue towards Rosenborg Castle we take a look at Trinitatis Church and at the Residential Hall, Regensen.

From Rosenborg Castle we pass through the Royal Garden to the first buildings to house labourers in this case fleet personel. It is called the New Small Houses, Nyboder. From here we walk to the Citadel, Kastellet.

We take the train to Roskilde, with possibility of renting bicycles, if you do not already have your own bicycle.

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.

The big old masters such as Kaare Klint and Mogens Koch fosters in the 1920s and 1930s the idea of functional design and design for everybody. It fails at this point but the development continues after World War II, especially with the FDB (joined Danish cooperatives) design studio for furniture controlled by Børge Mogensen.

We look at the different elements in the design process as a collaboration between joinery, furniture designer and manufacturer as seen between the Rud Rasmussen Joinery and Kaare Klint and between Carl Hansen & Son and Hans Jørgen Wegner. This also includes the importance of the relationship between good design and good business.

We will start at Design Museum Denmark, and after that we continue to the flagship store of Carl Hansen & Son in Bredgade, Cph K.

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.

The story of Kronborg in Elsinore – the Castle of Shakespeare's Hamlet,  a special place in Danish history.

Northern Europe's largest Renaissance Castle stores some of the most amazing and disturbing stories.

Kronborg Castle was built to replace the old and outdated fortress Krogen, which had existed since Erik of Pomerania made Elsinore Denmark's second largest city in the 15th century. Kronborg is one of Northern Europe's most important Renaissance castles.

Kronborg holds a love story beyond all limits, as Frederik II build a whole wing for his beloved Sophie, so she could walk with dry shoes from her chamber to the church. 

For centuries, the castle's location, next to the Entrance of Øresund, gave Danish kings the power to control the shipping in Øresund and to collect the much hated "Øresundstold" a special tax for sailing through Øreund.

Fire, wars and shipwrecks are also part of Kronborg's history and stories worth listening to.

Kronborg is now on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

Join me on a coach tour to North Zealand and visit the beautiful castles and the palace still lived in by the royal family.

We drive along the coast from Copenhagen, enjoying the Erimitage Castle and I will till you about the castle which has an interesting history.

Visit the magnificent cathedral and the thousand-year-old Viking ships on this guided tour around Roskilde's cultural world heritage.

Roskilde Cathedral and the Viking Ship Museum – two places that are both recognized as unique world cultural heritage. The cathedral is the church in the world that has the most kings and queens buried: 21 kings and 18 queens. At the same time, it is a unique architectural testimony to the changing art and architectural styles of the past as well as a display of the changing views on monarchy in Denmark.

Highlights of the trip are Margrethe the 1st's distinguished tomb and Christian the 4th's beautifully decorated chapel, which displays the king's legacy as a colorful warrior king.

The Viking Ship Museum houses the original 5 Skuldelev ships, Museumsøen houses the large collection of reconstructed Viking ships and Nordic wooden boats that showcase what the original ships looked like a thousand years ago. The boatyard on the Museum Island next to the museum is open from May to mid-October, it imparts vivid Viking Age craftsmanship and boat building culture.

We will visit both places to explore a milleneum of Danish history – from the Vikings' ravages and adventurous spirit to the kings' uniting and pacifying of the country. We will consider the question of who the Vikings really were and get closer to the center of power and the cheerful, touching, and sad stories that surround the Danish kings and queens.

If time allows, we will make a small city walk around the old Roskilde city center, or enjoy new Nordic food at the Viking Ship Museum's Café Knarr.
