Denmark tells its story.
You just drive.
Free audio guide for your car and camper van

How the audio guide works
Three steps from the sofa to stories on the road. No maps to fold, no guidebooks to thumb through.

Plan the trip (or don’t)
Type “I’ve got 3 hours from Aarhus to Aalborg” — or just set off. Pick “The scenic route” and we’ll bend the road past the sights.

Drive — and listen
As you approach a place, its story starts by itself through your car speakers. Eyes on the road, ears in the story.
The practical details are taken care of
The practical details are taken care of, so the trip stays a pleasure — even with no signal.
Stories that start themselves
Drive past — and listen. The app knows where you are and plays the story of a place just as it appears through the windscreen.
The scenic route
The route planner can bend your trip past castles and viewpoints instead of picking the dull motorway.
Works without coverage
Download maps and stories in advance. Deep in the dunes or out on a ferry, the stories can still be read aloud.
Campsites and chargers on the map
Campsites, motorhome pitches, nature spots and EV chargers — as map layers you switch on when you need them.
For the camper van and the hiking trip
Roadfable is an audio guide made for road trips where the road is half the experience. Where there’s room to turn off because a road sign looks promising — and time to hear why a place got its name.
- Motorhome pitches and nature spots right on the map
- Maps and stories can be downloaded in advance; without signal your phone reads them aloud
- Big type and big buttons — gloves and low sun included
- Podcast mode: hear a whole region’s stories on the long stretches

Hear a real story
This is what it sounds like as you drive past. The text below is the opening of Sønderborg Slot's own story in the app — not an advert.
Sønderborg Slot har gennem 865 år stået som tavs vidne til nogle af Danmarks mest dramatiske kongelige skæbner. Da du træder ind gennem den massive stenbue, betræder du samme gulve som Christian den Anden engang vandrede i sytten lange år som fange.

Questions and answers
Do I need to install an app?
No. Roadfable runs right in your phone’s browser — tap “Try it free” and you’re in. You can add it to your home screen like an app, and native iPhone and Android apps are on the way.
Is the app in English?
Not yet. The app itself is currently in Danish; an English version is on the way. The map, navigation and playback are simple to use either way.
Does it play through my car?
Yes. Connect your phone over Bluetooth or cable as usual — the stories play through the car speakers, and the steering-wheel buttons work for pause and skip.
What if there’s no signal?
You can download maps and stories in advance, so they are there on the coast, in the plantations and on the ferry. Where a story has a recorded narrator the recording is downloaded too; otherwise your phone’s voice reads it aloud.
Who makes the stories?
The stories draw on open sources such as Wikipedia and are read aloud in a natural narrated voice. We review the catalogue continuously.
Is it really free?
Yes. We are building Roadfable as a shared project, and it is free to use while we develop it. You are welcome to support us if you want.
Enjoy the drive.
Free to try — the stories start as soon as you do.
