Nature walk

Walk the Ramparts of Christianshavn – part of the old fortifications of Copenhagen.

The rampart and the moats around Christianshavn are part of the extensive fortifications all around Copenhagen. Today they form a park area with many beautiful sights and access to the harbour. Seen from above it is like a green string of pearls.

We start our walk at Langebro and then follow the rampart all the way around the freetown Christiania – stop for a refreshment and peep look and then continue while enjoying the unique self constructed houses in Christiania. After a while we reach the Opera House from where we can take the harbour bus across to Nyhavn.

Walk on unneven surfaces, that can be muddy and slippery depending on the weather.

From Rådvad – via Copenhagen Golf Club – Eremitage Slottet, the palace – Tårbæk Harbour  

Raadvad is "the craddle of industrialism" in Denmark – where the first factory mills were built near the water. Today the area is part of the National Museum and can be explored on its own.

It is a beautiful forest and lake area on the northern outskirts of the Deer Park. We start next to Raadvad Inn. We walk through the birch and oak forest and across the plain towards the little palace, Eremitage Slottet, which was built as a royal hunting cottage. It's situated in the outskirts of the forest overlooking a large plain with hundreds of grazing deer. On the way we pass the oldest golf club in Scandinavia (1898), and it often happens that some of the more than 2000 deer in the park might be found in the middle of the fairway or even on the greens while golfers are playing.

From the palace Eremitage Slottet we might be able to see the coast of Sweden. We continue east and end up in the Taarbæk Marina with its distinct maritime atmosphere.

We walk on gravel and forestry roads and mainly even terrain.

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.

Walk through Copenhagen, from North to South. On this long hike you will get to know the green lungs of Copenhagen, and many "secret places" that most Copenhageners are not even aware of.

You have a guide and will learn about the places we walk through, but there will be longer stretches of pure walking, so you will get your physical shape tested. In all, we will walk around 13-15 kilometers, depending on your pace. On the hike, you have a chance to get to know the other particpants – or get an in-depth talk with the guide.

The tour lasts around 5 hours, and there will be a break on the way to get a ligther lunch or refreshment – or just dine from your lunch box!

Rold Skov, Jutland's largest forest, offers great opportunities for trekking, cycling or running. You will see the heather flourish in Rebild Hills, find rare orchids in the early summer and enjoy the hikes to the waterrich springs.

I'll tell you about the robbers in Rold, the geological underground and the 4th of July celebrations in honor of the United States. We visit a bird tower, a bog, a garden in the forest with the trees of the world and a lovely coffee place.

If you are interested we could make a detour to a mine in the area.
