West Coast culture - Nature and culture
West coast culture for Merete Vigen is life close to the sea and how the sea has helped shape human life. These are the stories she passes on to guests on guided tours.
Merete Vigen organises guided tours along the West Coast, giving guests unique nature experiences combined with exciting cultural stories. Nature is the driving force behind everything she does. One of the places that is often part of the guided tours is the area around Filsø. A beautiful natural area with good opportunities for various hikes. The guided tours extend from Skallingen in the south to Nymindegab in the north - in addition to the Filsø area. On all the tours Merete Vigen organises, it is important for her to convey her love of nature.
I have a great love of nature myself, and I try to pass that on to my guests - also in relation to the fact that when we're out there, we look after the nature we're in. The more you know about nature, the better you can look after it - Merete Vigen.
Nature is an inexhaustible source of inspiration, a place where the soul finds peace and the mind is recharged. Every time we step out into the green, we open the door to a world of unforgettable experiences. When we encounter nature, we are reminded of our connection to all living things. When we venture out into nature, everyday worries disappear. We enter a moment of pure presence where our senses come alive.
For Merete Vigen, nature is an experience in itself, but another way of being in nature is foraging, which can be done at different times of the year. Merete Vigen has a burning desire to focus on all the beauty that nature has on our doorstep.
It's incredibly exciting to take people out into the Danish countryside. There are so many experiences in nature, and it can be different every time you go somewhere. One day you can see an otter at Filsø, but it's gone the next time you pass by - Merete Vigen
