We humans have grand ideas and make elaborate plans. It’s in our nature. But do things always go according to plan when those ideas are put into action? Or are we destined to live by the cynicism embraced by the military: Plans only hold until the first encounter with reality?

That’s the theme we’ll explore on this tour. Come join us!

An outline for life

Under the heading "An Outline For Life", you can join us on four selected audio tours. Put on your hiking shoes and put your earphones in your ears and discover the stories of how the plans of the past have helped to shape the cities of Fredericia, Jelling, Grinsted and Christiansfeld as we know them today.

An Outline for the Fortress

Fredericia was built on a bare field. A desolate place where no city should be built. However, the area made good military sense.
