Walk Aarhus from the river to the woods
Aarhus is Denmark's second city, a port with a rainbow walkway on its art museum, an old quarter of lanes and forest at its southern edge. FOG keeps the map dark until you walk it, and Aarhus mixes old streets with new waterfront.
Centre and old town
ARoS, the art museum, is topped by Your Rainbow Panorama, a circular walkway of coloured glass with a view over the city. Nearby, the Aarhus River runs through the centre, partly reopened with cafes along its banks.
The Latin Quarter is the oldest part of the city, with narrow streets and small shops near Aarhus Cathedral, the longest church in Denmark. Den Gamle By is an open-air museum of old Danish houses moved here from around the country.
Harbour and woods
The harbour has been transformed with Dokk1, the library, and the Aarhus O district of new buildings such as the Iceberg. South of the city, the Marselisborg woods run along the coast, with the Dyrehaven deer park and the Infinite Bridge, a circular pier over the sea.
Further south, the Moesgaard Museum sits in the hills. A long walk from the centre through the woods and along the coast draws a big line on the map.
Northern weather
Aarhus is mostly flat in the centre, with some hills toward the woods. Winters are dark and damp.
Summers are mild and long in daylight, good for long walks.
Bring the walks you already did
An empty map is a slow start in a city you already know. FOG Unlimited imports Google Timeline exports and GPX files, so years of past walks in Aarhus clear straight onto the map, and you open the app to a real picture with obvious dark gaps in it. It is one purchase, never a subscription.
From then on FOG records by itself, with the app closed, and the trail never leaves the phone. No account, no ads, no tracking. The logbook writes a page for every month and year you were out, with the new ground and the new places you set foot in.
