Nature walk

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.

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.

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.

Bornholm once had its own defense force: Bornholm Militia. It was only late in history that Danish troops took over their role.

Hasle Fælled and the area south of Hasle offers excellent examples of how training and military practice took place; however, other historical events have equally left their mark on the place.

There are a number of fascinating sights, which I will explain about when we see them.

Lots of traces in this area tell its stories of what it was in the past and what it has become today.
