The Frederiksberg Museums launches a gastronomic audio tour /
From June 2022, the Frederiksberg Museums offers an audio-guided gastronomic walk through the meadows of Søndermarken – from the darkness of Cisternerne to the idyll of Bakkehuset.
Listen to a poetic story, narrated by the Danish actress Ellen Hillingsø, while being guided through nature, history and cultural heritage with surprising taste experiences along the way.
Go on an audio-guided gastronomic walk through one of the capital’s most beautiful parks with a pre-ordered basket under your arm. In the basket you will find vinegar pickled linden leaves, baked roast barley with nettle seeds, as well as other taste experiences rooted in the methods of the past and the five basic taste elements: salty, sour, sweet, bitter and unami.
All the taste variations are created based on the area’s nature and history and developed by Bakkehuset’s head chef, Fie Berlin, in collaboration with the professional herb collector, Thomas Laursen.
Gastronomic audio tour – a journey through time and place
After visiting the underground darkness of Cisternerne, you will be guided on a hike through Søndermarken. Find the long Norske Allé with the hundred-year-old linden trees that stand tall and stoically with their green heart-shaped leaves and experience the dramatic landscape scenery at the so-called Norwegian party with a small wooden bridge, water and hilly terrain. Let the stories of different times and periods unfold on your way through the park while you are guided through unique taste experiences:
“In a short while you will step onto the bridge, and at the highest point you will stop and look at the city through the leaves of the trees – from the middle you can see the spire of Frederiksberg Church, you are still in the middle of a big city. But in a quiet moment under the spruces, in a gap between land and water. Take the jar with the blue lid and put the content into your mouth,”
Excerpt from the Frederiksberg Museums GastroWalk.
The hike ends in one of the city’s finest oases, the heart of the Danish Golden Age, where H.C. Andersen and other poets previously gathered. Today, Bakkehuset on Rahbeks Allé remains a cultural meeting place, with its museum, romantic garden and critically acclaimed lunch restaurant, Orangeriet.
Here, on the edge of the city of dreams and in this green and beautiful oasis of the capital, the gastronomic audio tour ends.
