Happy tuesday my amazing HIVERS
Hope you are doing well and
having a fantastic week 😊
My week is raining away, but then I
found pictures from a favorite
vacation in Denmark.
And all is Sunny and warm 😉
So I thought I share it with ya'll,
and it sure is a place worth visiting
such amazing envirement
and much to see.
Ekkodalen
(Echo Valley)
Visit The Echo Valley (Ekkodalen)
in the Almindingen forest
on Bornholm.
The Echo Valley is Bornholms
longest rift valley.
When you visit Ekkodalen on
Bornholm, make sure to
test the echo.
The best echo is obtained beside Hans Christian Ørsted's spring, about 20
meters to the left along the path
at the entrance to Ekkodalen
opposite Ekkodalshuset.
The spring was an ancient holy well.
It was thought its very clean and tasty
water was curative. In the 1920s
and 1930s it was also called also
Ørsted's Radium Source.
This is such a beautiful view, and we
did spend most time down in
the Valley cause there were
much to see all around.
Incredleble cliffs and rocks
History
Echo Valley was originally named
Kodalen (Cow Valley), probably because
by the royal edict of 1658 the peasants
had obtained rights to free grazing
for their cattle there.
The first time the name Ekkodalen
appears on a map was in 1746 when someone added EC before Kodalen
changing it to Eckodalen.
Others argue that it was Bornholm's
first forester, Hans Rømer, who
found the name.
Higland Cattle
Found all around the Valley
I was amazed by their BIG size
and the long fur, never seen
cows like this before 😁
Really long horn and such
cute faces 😍
Everywhere you walked they were
looking at you 😜 lol
I looked back and even if their size
was huge, they were very
friendly and calm.
It was a fascinating experience, and
I am happy I got these shots.
Ofcourse a edit 😁 and it is with
negative effect with a dash
of color. Pretty neat ey?
〰️🐮〰️
AND NOW...
Let's climb a little
Here starts the climbing path, and
it really is a steep climb
The steep cliffs on one side of
Ekkodalen are called Styrtebakkerne.
The name was originally Stortebakkene,
an old Bornholm term for a ridge
with a steep, vertical rock face.
In Ekkodalen there are memorials to Bornholm philanthropist Marie Kofoed
and to Hans Rømer, the forester.
There is also one on the cliff face where
a young scout, Johannes V. Andersen,
died after a fall in 1947.
In 1809, to the dismay of the local peasants who lost their free grazing rights, Hans Rømer built an impressive stone wall around the forest which
still stands today.
He served as forester in the period
1800-36, creating Almindingen,
Denmark's third largest forest.
He established and named Hans Christian Ørsted's spring and he built Ekkodalen's half-timbered
property, Rømersdal,
which is still the residence
of the State Forester.
〰️🍃〰️
The forrest and enviroment in this
climb was incredleble, beautiful trees
and lots of rocks that made it a little
hard but SO worth it 😜
A little bit of a view, it was a great spot
to stand and enjoy the envirement.
We took a break and coffe here
while we enjoyed the view 😍
AND then it was time to keep going.
Really big rocks and steep, so we
had to look where our feet was.
Do.. Not.. Fall 😜 lol
And a little selfie in this amazing
envirement that made both
body and soul happy.
And being Surrounded by trees in
all shapes and sizes AND ages,
was just incredleble.
And now we were almost back down
in the Valley, and then we came
across a big big Statue.
Closer look at Peter Christian Tranberg
Peter Christian Tranberg
Was born on Brunsgård in
Nylars in 1832.
He became a student at Rønne State
School in 1851.Master of Theology 1858.

1863 He collected Skt.
His Day 3000 listeners at the
pulpit in Almindingen and
formed a free church.
1872 returned with its 700 members
to the People's Church.

1896 Died in Mineapolis USA, where
a bronze-cast tombstone
was erected.
1898 The people of Bornholm laid a memorial stone over Tranberg
in Ekkodalen.
And after this we were pretty hungry,
time for dinner so we walked
towards the big house.
And on the way back this caught
my attention, such beautiful horses
and I Wouldn't mind taking
a ride in that 😉
But another time... FOOD!
Beautiful house and even more
cool was this wagon outside 😜
love old things like this.
And then FINALLY...
FOOD 😋 Yummy
And after I made a little incredleble
discovery, a table with a really amazing decoration. Is it a Magic forest?
A Magic world?
Actually it was cute little trolls 😍
"Hello there trolls "
I can't help it but I absolutly LOOVE
things like this 😁 LMAO
INSPIERING!!
That ends my trip to Echo Valley,
and if you ever come to Bornholm
