There is a network of ancient roads on Zealand from Lejre via Roskilde and Furesø Municipality up to Elsinore. It is along these sunken roads that one might find 5,000 year old dolmens from the Neolithic.
Here is a rarity: One of the few known well preserved and exposed dolmens is with all four tombs. A total area of the elongated measuring 25x8x1 meters. There are a total of 30 border stones. All four chambers are quite large – between 1.6 and 2.10 meters long.
Jeg har før skrevet om Bondestenalderens hulveje fra Lejre gennem Roskilde og videre op mod Helsingør og Nordkysten. I kan se mit indlæg her fra Det Største Forsvarstårn i Nordeuropa
“Firkammerdyssen eller Dronningedyssen med reference til Kongedyssen også kaldet Dæmpegårdsdyssen.
Et stykke længere oppe ad oldtidsvejen ved Avlskarlevold ligger øst for stien en imponerende langdysse med velbevarede randsten. Dyssen har fire kamre, det nordligste og ældste kammer ligger på langs med dyssen, de andre tre på tværs. Det største kammer, som er restaureret, har en stor dæksten, som er flækket, og en lille gang. Et af kamrene er blevet fyldt op med jord, og det sydligste kammer mangler sin dæksten, men har velbevarede bæresten og spor efter en indgang.” ¹. Oldtidsstier.dk

Oldtidsstier i Tokkekøb Hegn
Where, twisted round the barren oak,
The summer vine in beauty clung,
And summer winds the stillness broke,
The crystal icicle is hung.
Where, from their frozen urns, mute springs
Pour out the river’s gradual tide,
Shrilly the skater’s iron rings,
And voices fill the woodland side.
Alas! how changed from the fair scene,
When birds sang out their mellow lay,
And winds were soft, and woods were green,
And the song ceased not with the day!
But still wild music is abroad,
Pale, desert woods! within your crowd;
And gathering winds, in hoarse accord,
Amid the vocal reeds pipe loud.
Chill airs and wintry winds! my ear
Has grown familiar with your song;
I hear it in the opening year,
I listen, and it cheers me long.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, from: Woods In Winter
Der er ingenting i verden så stille som sne,
når den sagte gennem luften daler,
dæmper dine skridt,
tysser, tysser blidt
på de stemmer, som for højlydt taler.
Der er ingenting i verden af en renhed som sne,
svanedun fra himlens hvide vinger.
På din hånd et fnug
er som tåredug.
Hvide tanker tyst i dans sig svinger.
Der er ingenting i verden, der kan mildne som sne.
Tys, du lytter, til det tavse klinger.
O, så fin en klang,
sølverklokkesang
inderst inde i dit hjerte ringer.
– Helge Rode
We called it the Rain Valley, the Tavignano Gorge.
One day we drove through Corte, Corsica’s former capital and passed a view to a beautiful looking valley.
From the car I could see a path winding its way in the mountainside. The valley was sparkling green and beautiful. That kind of sights inspires me and as soon as we got back to our base I began to study our maps.
Next day we found our way into the wilderness and the Tavignano Gorge was spectacular lushly.
I was reminded of the Tavignano Gorge when McEff published the post from Andalusia: Chasing the Storm. A walk or some might call it a climb between the towns of Lanjarón and Órgiva. There are pictures in that post where you can see a trail, the GR 7 cuts across the cliffs of the gorge. I think our trail was paved, compared with the Andalucian GR7 trail.
Vi kaldte kløften for regnvejrsdalen, theTavignano Gorge.
En dag, da vi kørte gennem Corte, Korsikas tidligere hovedstad, passerede vi en meget smuk udsigt til en dal inde mellem bjergene.
Jeg fik øje på en sti, der snoede sig vej inde på den frodige bjergside. Sådanne syn inspirerer mig, og så snart vi kom tilbage til vores base begyndte jeg at studere vores kort.
Næste dag fandt vi vejen ind i Tavignano kløften, der var spektakulær frodig.

The Tavignano Gorge is worth a visit even when it rains!!! Quote by me 🙂
Walk softly or you might intrude the fairies.
A Hawthorn is considered a fairy tree, it is believed to be extremely bad luck to cut one down, remove branches, or even hang things upon it in case you disturb the little folk.
The Hawthorn symbolizes fertility peace prosperity and binding. This tree is associated with sexuality and destruction. It was though that sleeping in a house with hawthorn blossoms would cause great misfortune.
Although on May Day the blossom are placed at the based of the May Pole.
The gathering of hawthorn blossoms was known has “goin a maying”.
In the legends of Cu Chulain a goddess pronounces a curse on him in crow form and flys to a thicket of hawthorns known has “hawthorn of the crow”. ¹.
Happy weekend to all of you ❤ …and a joyous walk 🙂
Overfarten mellem Hundested og Rørvig er altid fuld af forventning. Rørvig er unik dansk natur, og sandstrandene hører til blandt de bedste i Danmark.
Vejret var flot for en uge siden. Vinden var tæt på stormstyrke, men med solskin.
Det var min plan at gå ud på Hov Vig Nakke, men vejret slog om undervejs, og sorte skyer lovede masser af regn, da færgen nåede Rørvig.
Jeg besluttede mig for en kortere tur, og tog færgen tilbage.
Det var godt det samme, da det bliver tidligt mørkt 🙂
Hvor er vi henne? Hundested – Rørvig
‘I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in’
By John Muir
Some years ago, I took the train every morning from Hillerød towards Hundested to work.
At Christmas, I could see a Christmas tree brightened up the harbor area from my window. It was lashed to a crane in the harbor. An evocative sight.
The harbor is the focal point of the town. In summer, the town is filled with travelers, but I like it best in winter. Nature becomes more present due to sea storms and the changing light from the sea. Maybe I’m biased by my penchant for ships and water, but the harbor is a very exciting place.
If the weather was fine finishing work hours, I walked up past Knud Rasmussen’s house and further along the coast down to Kikhavn. From here I went along small country roads to the nearest train station. Always late supper 🙂
In the year 2013 Hundested was selected as the best port in Denmark because of the many wonderful activities.
Knud Rasmussen planned his next polar expedition from his study with a tantalizing view over the sea.
Her sad Knud Rasmussen, og planlagde de næste ekspeditioner til polarområdet med udsigt til Kattegat fra arbejdsværelset.
I nogle år tog jeg toget hver morgen fra Hillerød mod Hundested for at arbejde.
Ved juletid kunne jeg se et juletræ lyse smukt ud over havneområdet fra mit vindue. Det var surret fast på kranen nede i havnen. Et stemningsfuldt syn. Havnen er omdrejningspunktet i byen.
Om sommeren er byen fyldt med feriegæster, men om vinteren er byen bedst. Naturen bliver mere nærværende i kraft af havets storme, og det skiftende lys. Måske er jeg forudindtaget med min hang til skibe og vand, men havnen er til stadighed et spændende sted, også om vinteren.
Hvis vejret var fint, når jeg skulle hjem fra arbejde, gik jeg op forbi Knud Rasmussens hus og videre langs kysten ned til Kikhavn. Herfra gik jeg ad små landeveje til den nærmeste togstation. Altid sen aftensmad 🙂
I året 2013 blev Hundested Havn valgt som bedste havn i Danmark på grund af de mange dejlige aktiviteter.

Nordkyststien – Fra Hundested til Gilleleje
There is tranquillity in a strong wind.
The only sound is the sound of nature, the wind in the trees and the roar of the waves against the shore.
Have you seen the video: Into The Canadian Rockies
Such films have a positive influence on me. I need to get out in nature. I get the urge to wander through landscapes. Do I have that kind of landscape in Denmark? Absolutely not but the inspiration keeps me dreaming and that is the most important thing of it all. For without dreams we are not moving at all. We have to be able to imagine new opportunities, otherwise we are not trying to achieve them.
I went for a walk in Ravnholm Forest, or the Danish Switzerland, that is the nickname for the forest. It’s a wonderful forest with hills and slopes.
In a small clearing among pine trees a smoke rose from a campfire. The children sat in a circle and ate fruit and had a good time.
I think that the children will acquire an invaluable approach to nature that makes them capable to move and protect nature in the right way in the future.
Happy Hiking ❤
Har du set videoen: Into The Canadian Rockies
Sådanne film har en positiv indflydelse på mig. Jeg har brug for at komme ud i naturen. Jeg får lyst til at vandre gennem landskaber.
Har jeg den slags landskab i Danmark? Absolut ikke, men inspirationen holder mine drømme i live, og det er det vigtigste af det hele, for uden drømme bevæger vi os ikke.
Vi er nødt til at forestille os nye muligheder, ellers forsøger vi ikke at nå dem.
Jeg gik en tur i Ravnholm Skov, eller Det Danske Schweiz, som er kælenavnet for skoven. Det er en vidunderlig skov med bakker og skråninger, hvilket er årsagen til kælenavnet.
I en lille lysning mellem fyrretræer steg røgen op fra et lejrbål. Børnene sad i en cirkel og spiste frugt. De havde en god tid mellem voksne, som er dedikerede naturfolk.
Jeg tror, at børnene vil få en uvurderlig tilgang til naturen, der gør dem i stand til at bevæge sig og beskytte naturen på den rigtige måde i fremtiden.
Rigtig god tur derude ❤
