Principals of presentation

A marked and well-defined network of routes and footpaths creates the visible connection in the Danish Lake District Ecomuseum, "the common thread". This presentation in the landscape follows a clear, uniform concept of marking and layout and the importance of "recognition" is the priority. The original idea is based on the concept used by the Danish National Forest and Nature Agency.

Level 1 - point markers - a post or marker with a number or single letter.

Level 2 - a path sign - direction to the next place of interest.

Level 3 - plan boards and information boards.

Level 4 - un-manned visitor centres.

Level 5 - manned visitor centres.

The signature colour on signs and posts is brown so that they are not confused with the Swedish red used by the National Forest and Nature Agency. The brown colour, "earth", is recognizable abroad as it is the colour used for service and direction boards put up in nature reserves.

Information boards explain the history behind observations made on the spot. Point markers require that the information about the point is in a brochure that can be acquired at tourist offices or institutions.
