Natureventyr - an outdoor treasure hunt for children

Turn your walk into an adventure

Make your trip into nature something truly special – and an experience that children in particular will love. Choose an adventure where the story unfolds as you move around. The adventure takes place right in the forest, in the park or by the beach – and invites you to listen, wonder and get actively involved.

Via the Natureventyr app, you’ll get narration, little tasks and stops that make it easy to keep the children’s curiosity piqued all the way.

Child-friendly experiences

Throughout the Aarhus Region, you’ll find child-friendly routes through woods, parks and along beaches, whilst you read a fairy tale written specifically for the route you’re walking. Along the way, there are little challenges and tasks for the children to solve as part of the story.

See examples of some of the Fairy Tale Routes below:

Create shared experiences in nature

Natureventyr makes it easier to get children out and about. The stories, which are a kind of treasure hunt, provide natural motivation, and the little tasks along the way foster togetherness and shared experiences.
