Description was written before the event

Warm up for the evening's concert with Chris Andersen & Johannes Aaen with a pleasant forest walk at Sortemosehus, guided by Mette Osland. We'll get some exercise, breathe fresh air and get a dose of nature before filling our minds with beautiful music.

About the venue: Sortemosehus

Sortemosehus is a former forest warden's house from 1893, situated at the northern edge of Arden right at the entrance to Rold Skov. The association Foreningen Sortemosehus bought the property from the Danish Nature Agency and opened it in October 2025 as a nature centre and Hærvejen hostel. It hosts nature education for schools and institutions, and guests can stay in shelters, hostel rooms or on a campsite. The location gives direct access to hiking and mountain-bike trails in Rold Skov.
