Historical walks
A developing collaborative project between museums, hiking clubs and local associations
THE PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT
With support from Nordeafonden, the Danish Vanderlaug, the National Museum and Danish Museums of Natural History have, in an interdisciplinary collaboration, opened up the landscape to historically interested and hiking participants by conveying Denmark's historical development and unfolding the traces of the lives they lived.
The tours convey natural history, cultural history and art history out in nature. The project focuses on communities, diversity and cohesion and is now available i.a. on the Danish Vanderlaug's website: Historical Walks.
LOCAL COMMUNITIES
The Historical Walks have been developed in close cooperation between the Dansk Vandrelaug's tour leaders and the employees of local museums in small partnerships. Likewise, other local associations and actors with a historical interest may have been involved in the development of the historical walks.
The project helps to increase the local anchoring, strengthen the participants' affiliation with local museums and hiking clubs and provide hiking communities for the Danes.
Up to 1.000 Historical Walks have been developed in 2023 spread across the country, with 45 of them (the so-called F-tours) receiving special attention and professional historical weight. And all the F tours are available here.
