This walk starts and ends at the pier of Langelinie. We walk through some of the parks that used to be part of the ramparts that surrounded and protected the old city of Copenhagen. Today the remnants are very clearly visible on a map, and one is the Botanical Gardens with beautiful greenhouses, lakes and plants at many ground levels. Here, the most vicious fighting between Danes and Swedes took place, during the Assault on Copenhagen of 1659.

On the way back we cross Rosenborg Castle, the barracks of the Royal Guard and the King's Garden, a small but very popular park for recreational activities such as picnics and sunbathing. We walk through "Nyboder", the Armed Forces Historic Housing Complex with its charming yellow townhouses dedicated to people serving the navy or military forces. We finish with a walk around "Kastellet", – which still holds part of the military administration, and is one of the most well preserved examples of 17th-18th century fortifications in Europe. From the top of the ramparts we have a fine view over the busy harbour as well as the city, and we can enjoy the fine old red buildings.

If time allows – and the church is open – we will stop to take a look. Shortly after we are back at the cruise ships pier.

Visit and experience an alternative and contrasting Copenhagen South Harbour by the water, on bicycle.

For many years, Copenhagen's South Harbour had the reputation of being Copenhagen's poorest worker neighbourhood, where alcoholics hang out on every street corner. In recent years, there has been a rapid development in the area which creates some exciting contrasts. The South Harbour has suddenly become an attractive place to live and visit.

We will also visit some of the area's green oases, including Sydhavnstippen, where we may be lucky to spot the cute sheeps or alpacas that live there.

As the South Harbour is a large area and I would like to give you the whole experience, the tour will be on bicycle. In fact, it is also the most local and Copenhagen way to get around in the city.

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Kronborg Castle was built to replace the old and outdated fortress Krogen, which had existed since Erik of Pomerania made Elsinore Denmark's second largest city in the 15th century.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

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.
