Nature walk

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.

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.

Join me on a walk in the beautiful area around Knold, where we can enjoy the unique and varied coastal landscape consisting of stoned beach, tidal meadows and steep cliffs inhabited by Sand Martins.

I will meet you at the parking space, Knoldsvej 10.

On our walk we will pass the old bathhouses from the 1950s.

From Knold you have a spectacular view over the Archipelago of South Funen with the islands Lyø, Bjørnø, Avernakø and Ærø.

During the walk I will tell the story of the old bathhouses, how the landscape has been formed and about the specific types of birds and plants living at the Coast.

The walk is not suited for people with walking difficulties.

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. 

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.
