Nature walk

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. 

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.

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.

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.
