Nature walk

Munkebjergskoven is a forest famous for its wild nature and magnificent views. The forest is moreover famous for its beech trees, which are said to be the first ones to blossom when spring arrives in Denmark. 

Starting at Munkebjerg Hotel, we hike on a round trip in the very hilly terrain. We hike on the edge of a a huge glacier with many deep and narrow meltwater gorges created shortly after the last ice age 14,000 years ago. 

The hike will pass an old yew trees, which today is protected, likewise there are several orchid species, that grows wildly in the forest. 

Also the wildlife in Munkebjerg Forest is something very special. The rare and endangered hazel dormouse builds its nest in the forest. You can also meet the stock dove and the black woodpecker at Munkebjerg. 

We will also see the Troll Stone with a big hand print. The tour ends by a walk up the steep Munkebjerg stairs and its 218 steps back to the hotel. And of course, you will get stories about the hotel with the piccolo and the donkey Moses, which used to bring the guests' luggage to the hotel, as well as the artists who were called the Munkebjerg painters.

Do you wish for a guided hike in one of the most beautiful Danish fjords and forests. Guarantee for a great experience in wonderful nature.

Enjoying the quiet beauty of nature is best experienced in the middle of it. With the fjord being the epicentre of nature in Lillebælt, there is no better way to get into the nature than hiking at Løverodde and experience it all from the beach with the big forest as a background.

If we are lucky we experience the porpoise who hunt herrings in the fjord.

There is a possibility of hiking up to 16 km but I make sure we customise the tour according to your wishes and capability.

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.

A guided tour on Skamlingsbanken: hear about Denmark's national sentiments during the first half of the 19th century.

Steen Blicher started the first popular meetings of the Romantic Era on the hill Himmelbjerget in 1839. This became the inspiration for many subsequent popular meeting places around the entire country. In 1843 local farmers bought the area surrounding Southern Jutland's highest point, Skamlingsbanken, located approximately 10 km south of Kolding. 

A guided tour on Skamlingsbanken will give you an in-depth picture of Denmark's national sentiments during a time when ideas about nation, language and nature were experiencing a revolution. After a Danish defeat in 1864, ceding Southern Jutland to Prussia, Skamlingsbanken became highly symbolic for the struggle to reunite the area with the rest of the realm. 

The story about the events of 1864 and the separation and reincorporation of Southern Jutland certainly define this area and will be presented to you in a professional, interactive way. Narrations about these two historical events will be combined with the beautiful natural sights around, to not only give you an idea about the area but all of Denmark and its history as well. 

Hike over the hill Bokul and then along a coastal path to Hestestenene. There's an amazing view over Bornholm's sea and cliffs the entire way. Maybe we'll meet underground dwarves or hear the echo of wild horses … Without a doubt the sun has always risen in the east, and still does over Bornholm.

We'll have ample opportunities to sit down along the road while I tell you stories about Bornholm's history. This nature walk will end at Nørresand, the town of Gudhjem's ''secret'' harbour.

This tour is for anyone from 5 years and over, since being able to walk on own strength will be required as we walk on cliffs and hills. We'll start on the parking lot at the gas station on Helligdomsvej 1 in Gudhjem.
