Nature doesn’t need people, it is people who need nature
Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature.
It will never fail you.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Nature seems to have poured forth her
riches so without calculation,
merely to mark the fullness of her joy.
Margaret Fuller
Where can I go?
Thank you Beverley for your nice query concerning Ejby Ådal and the trails around the river valley.
You will find good information at Visit Lejre:
The paths in Ejby Ådal
Furthermore you will find several suggestions for a hike in the municipality of Lejre: Lejre on foot
I had an unforgettable evening in Ejby Ådal in the month of November once.
A sacred moment ❤
Where can I walk? In Danish!
A tree is a tree – how many more do you need to look at.

Farewell we call to hearth and hall!
Though wind may blow and rain may fall.
We must away ere the break of day.
Far over wood and mountain tall.
By J.R.R. Tolkien, Lord of the Rings
It’s time to wander!
It’s not advisable to walk on Øresund Bridge, and certainly not allowed, but with a car-free day it would give me a dizzying experience of happiness.
Enjoy the interesting facts on Wikipedia: Øresund Bridge, the bridge between Denmark and Sweden.
Withered woods, dried up rivers.
People talk about summer in October.
About confused bird nesting.
Chestnut trees and rhododendrons are in bloom.
Today I heard this advice in the radio:
Enjoy the weather and don’t think.
The rivers in Denmark are few and they rarely swell, as Lagan does.
Lagan River is a popular place for salmon fishing.
‘The Lagan is one of four main west coast rivers in south-western Sweden besides Göta river. It is with 244 kilometres one of the longest rivers in southern Sweden.
People have been following the river from the coastal areas since the Viking Age and settling in its vicinity.
Along Lagan was a trading route, the so-called Lagastigen, which is now part of the road E4.’ Wikipedia.
I had a remarkable experience a few weeks ago when I was cycling through the Deer Park.
The Stags were busy sweeping their antlers among a group of trees.
I stood quietly watching the impressive show.
When I was about to cycle, an older stag suddenly came towards me from behind.
Terrified I watched him walk right past me with only a few meters in between but all of a sudden the danger was gone and the awesome impression was all that was left.
It wasn’t me he found interesting but some trees on the other side of the path worth fighting with.
What a relief to find myself ignored 🙂
The rangers recommend visitors to stay on the path, to avoid stressing the animals
Furthermore, the red deer might hurt you seriously should you get in the way.
If only this tree could speak.
Often have I heard these words from people standing next to me in front of an old tree where branches and bark bear signs of age, wind and weather.
And in a way the old trees speak because stories are attached to them and retold again and again by people passing by.
Thus it is with the English Oak in Jaegersborg Deer Park:
Several years after the Bombardment of Copenhagen in 1807, a British soldier confessed an assassination on an English treasurer in the deer garden north of Copenhagen.
On his deathbed, he told that he and his buddy had buried the regiment chest with the soldiers salaries under the characteristic oak tree northeast of the Hermitage Castle.
The treasure was sought at the request of Queen Victoria, and there was a lot of digging around the old oak tree but the regiment chest didn’t materialise.
Arthur Wellesley led the occupation of Copenhagen in 1807.
The English formed a semicircle around Copenhagen from Svanemoellen to Kalveboderne
Some soldiers lived at Sorgenfri Castle in Kongens Lyngby, and camped in the deer garden, Jaegersborg Dyrehave.
I hear the lark on the open meadow. Lark song makes my heart rejoice. I look at the blue sky and up there, portrayed as a troubled spot on heaven’s vault, it sings to high heaven.
It happened in March, but lasted all summer.
Now swallows practicing with their chicks. They are the masters of abrupt turns.
Never do I see a clash. Unbelievable.
I think, they all fly together towards the south.
A cheering thought ❤
