Guidet tur i Rudkøbing – byvandring med lokale guider

See Rudkøbing with new eyes — city walk with passionate intermediaries Discover the tales behind the facades Want to experience Rudkøbing like you've never seen it before? Take an evocative city walk and get up close to history, art and culture — guided by two local mediators with deep insight and love for the city. A market town with layer upon layer of stories The city walk takes you through Rudkøbing's old street network, where medieval and modern life meet. You will get a unique insight into the development of the city through historic merchant farms, hidden backyards and the connection between market town and manor houses. Great personalities and small anecdotes Along the way you will meet both the known and the forgotten: Hans Christian Ørsted, Anders Sandøe Ørsted and Mads Lange — but also the town's local originals, tragic fates and enthusiasts. Each story is told with twinkle in the eye and gaze for the human. Art in the City and Art in Nature Rudkøbing has a vibrant artistic pulse — from Alfio Bonanno's internationally acclaimed natural works to Bjørn Okholm's “Hippo Ballerina”, the iconic hippopotamus sculpture on the square. You'll spot the art in both urban spaces and backyards. Future, Community and Change The tour also provides insight into today's Langeland — from project Shores and new architecture in Ørstedparken to the story of a society in motion. The town is part of the UNESCO Global Geopark The South Funen Archipelago, and it is felt in the stories. Guides: *The city walk is led by two experienced and passionate guides with deep local roots: * Eva Soderberg *Retired teacher and art historian with many years of experience in local dissemination. Eva is known for her warm narrative style and ability to bring the city's architecture and art to life. * Karen Elberg *Ethnologist and professional guide with background in cultural dissemination on South Funen since 2001.

City walk: Rudkøbing during the occupation

Rudkøbing during the occupation — city walk in historical traces A New Narrative of the War on Langeland For many years, the narrative has been that not much happened at Langeland during the occupation. But the reality was different. The war also left its mark here -- in everyday life, in the cityscape, and in the choices people had to make. On this city walk in Rudkøbing, the story unfolds, based on concrete places in the city where events took place and where traces can still be felt. Stories from the streets of Rudkøbing The tour goes through the cozy streets of Rudkøbing, where tales of blackout, rationing and air alarms come to life. Along the way, you will gain insight into both the small and big stories — from the challenges of daily life to dramatic events with connections to the rest of the country. The focus is also on the people from Langeland who were involved in the war — both on the Danish, German and Allied sides. Based on New Local History The urban walk is based on new knowledge and stories collected in the book about Langeland during the occupation. Here the picture of the island during the war is nuanced and a more vivid and realistic picture of the period is drawn. It gives a special depth to the trip, where places and stories are connected. Practical information The tour takes place on foot at a leisurely pace through Rudkøbing's town centre. The substrate is primarily cobblestone and asphalt, which can be uneven in some places. *Geopark Days in Geopark The South Funen Archipelago * The event is part of Geopark Days during the Ascension Festival, where we celebrate the UNESCO Global Geopark The South Funen Archipelago every year with a large, common folk celebration. Here you can take part in outdoor activities, taste local food and learn more about the nature, culture and geology of the area.
