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.

Join me on a walk in the beautifull nature reserve, Sund Hills with fine views over the town, Faaborg and the lake, Sundet.

I meet you at the parking space at the secundary school, Faaborg Gymnasium, Sundagervej 42. From here we follow trails up the spetacular hills.

The hills rise above Sundet, and at the top you have the most spectacular wiev of the old market town, Faaborg.

At the foot of the hills you can see the shallow lake, Sundet.

At the top we have a short coffee break, where you can enjoy the landscape and the wiev of the Bell Tower, Sundet and the Archipelago of South Funen.

During the walk, I will tell about the town, the landscape, and the bird life at the lake, Sundet. This lake is one of the only places in Funen where four different species af the Grebes are breeding.

This walk is not suited for people with walking difficulties.

A tour concentrated around Klinkerskoven and the old industrial area close to Sorthat/Muleby south of Hasle on Western Bornholm, bearing many traces of the raw material industries of the area.

We'll visit Hasle Klint to see the signs and traces in the landscape marked by this industry, which was ended in 1996. Even so most Danes know Hasle Tiles even today. Walking the streets of Denmark's provincial cities you can often see all sorts of items that originate from the factories of this area on Bornholm. Anything from feeding troughs to the fire-resistant stones used in tile ovens come from here.

We'll take a walk in this exciting area, full of sights such as old battlements, excavations and lakes, all telling their very own story.

The area offers a lot of interesting geological features, an industrial history, clay, gravel, coal and a military history with fortifications and cannons right in the middle of an amazing nature that is characteristic of the area today.

We'll find the sights and explore the area together!

If not previously, then there is now a deer-guarantee at the plainlands next to the oldest golfclub not just in Denmark but of all of Scandinavia. If the weather is clear, we will be able to see all the way to Sweden.

We walk from Klampenborg Station to Ulvedalene, the "Valley of the Wolfs", which every 3rd year provides the settings for an outdoor theatre. From there we will walk back through the forest to Klampenborg Station. We can walk a short detour in order to pass by the amusement park Bakken.

Did you know that there was a healing spring in Dyrehaven, which gave power and strength! And at one time there have been more than 200 pubs.

Dyrehaven is a popular place for excursions, and there are always many outdoor activities going on. It is possible to hire a chariot, if you wish to experience the forest from a horse-powered wagon, however that must be booked and paid for in advance. We can assist with all that of course.

The tracks we walk are partly laid with gravel and partly forest tracks, which can be uneven.
