On Sunday 20 September, we cycled along route 4 from the Tourist Office's bicycle map (http://www.langelandwebshop.dk/webshop/16-brochuresmapsbooks/165-bicycle-map-langeland/).
The weather was glorious, with high sun and light winds from the east, real Indian Summer.
We started from the northeast corner of the route, at Påø Strand.
Text to pictures
01: The first section on Påøvej is a gravel road with quite large stones. Not the best surface for cycling, but it was short and the rest of the trip we had fine asphalt.
01: Underwater snorkeling hunting in the sea around Langeland has become very popular.
There is a facebook group about underwater hunting in the sea around Langeland with over a thousand members.
The goal of the group is to help and inspire each other to an even better experience of underwater hunting: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2165746540186583/
03: At the memorial stone for the stranding of 1400 prisoners of war in 1945. In the late afternoon of May 4, 1945, a large floating dock ran aground off Langeland after four terrible days, with hunger and thirst, anxiety and apathy for the 1400 Russian and French prisoners of war from Nazi Germany and their German prison guards onboard. The many men were exhausted and near death from hunger and thirst. The langelanders did a great job helping the starved prisoners. This year, we at Langeland have celebrated the 75th anniversary of the stranding.
04: Picture of the floating dock from the City Historic Archive. The stranding on Påø beach was for the French to be their rescue and freedom and they soon went back to France. The French prisoners of war came to nearby manor Skovsgård, where the rathe eccentric owner of the estate, Miss Fuglede, kindly took care of them on the estate.
05: The Russians stayed at Rudkøbing Public School. Photo: Rudkøbing City History Archive. For the many Russians, their stay on Langeland was probably the best experience of their lives. In the Soviet Union Josef Stalin was not happy that some of his soldiers surrendered to the Nazis. Many of the Soviet prisoners of war were sent to the Gulag concentration camps in Siberia, where they died of starvation, cold, disease, or overwork.
06: Påø Meadows with Konabbe Woods in the background, a part of the Skovsgaard Manor https://www.my-langeland.com/langeland/planjourney/skovsgaard-gdk612367
07: One of the many well-kept idyllic half-timbered properties on Langeland.
08: At the end of a beautiful avenue is the main building to Frederiksberg. The place is ideal for luxurious weekend stays, family reunions or company events. The main building is 860 m2 and it is furnished with 11 bedrooms. https://hjortholmgods.dk/?id=692429
09: Skovsgaard old windmill belongs to the Skovsgaard Manor
In 1904, after a fire, a mill was rebuilt next to the old mill farm from 1830. The mill has been restored and the mill equipment is preserved and functional, which means that organic grain from Skovsgaard is ground there.
10: The view of the Langeland belt with large cargo ships and the rolling Langeland landscape in the foreground keeps on fascinating me.
11: Fodslette Church. The church is located in Langeland's smallest parish. It is built around 1250, but was heavily damaged during the Swedish wars (1657-60), since rebuilt by the noble family on Hjortholm Estate nearby.
12: We also met a Northern wheatear
13: View of the small island, Langø, from Bogø. The road to Langø was built by the farmer Marius Christensen from the island and his sons - a laborious work, which was completed in 1911.
Bogø too has also once been an island, surrounded by Lindelse Nor. But now the southern part of Lindelse Nor has been drained and a pumping station is pumping the water away, so that maize can be grown in what used to be shallow nor. A low-lying area by Lindelse and Bogø Nor has been designated as a potential area for the implementation of a wetland project. The project area is about the creation of a new approx. 17 ha large shallow lake.
14: View of the small island, Langø, from Bogø. Lindø, like Langø, has a small farm and is famous in Danish archeology, because merchant Jens Winther, the founder of Langelands Museum, carried out some of his first Stone Age excavations here and published the findings at his own expense. The Stone Age people lived by the noret, and archaeologists could wade around the coast and make many good findings.
15: View over Lindelse Nor with many wind turbines in the background.
16: Lindelse church.
17: Map of the bike ride. It was 26 kilometers long and can be highly recommended. This is route 4 from the Tourist and Business Association's bicycle map http://www.langelandwebshop.dk/webshop/16-brochuresmapsbooks/165-bicycle-map-langeland/

It is the former capital of the Northern Langeland Municipality, now a part of the Langeland Municipality.
Tranekær is also the home to a big manor, former a castle to defend the island from luting from tribes from Northern Germany and inhabited by a count who says that the manor is the oldest permanently inhabited house in Denmark.
But back to the cranes.
Literally Tranekær means the village that loves cranes.
For many years there were no cranes around the village that loves cranes, but approximately 10 years ago they moved into the wetland south of Tranekær called Flådet.
First, they were very shy but now they don’t take care of the cars passing on the road right next to Flådet.
To avoid that the Flådet stays as grassland, it grazed by a group of stallions, that is deported here from a big herd of Exmoore ponies that grazes the southern tip of Langeland who also have the task of reducing the up growth of scrubs. The stallions are exported here from the southern tip of Langeland to avoid an inbreed of the Exmoore ponies here, and a new stallion with is imported to bring fresh genes into the population.

A crane together with European roe deer, also known as the western roe deer or simply roe deer. The roe deer is a relatively small deer, with a a shoulder height of 65–75 cm, and a weight of 15–35 kg, and the crane is a big bird, Cranes are very large birds, often considered the world's tallest flying birds. And the crane on the picture is far taller than the deers!

The task of the fort was to prevent enemy naval forces from penetrating the Great Belt/Langelandsbæltet. Further the fort had the task to protect the minefields which, at the start of a war, the Navy intended to put out to control the passage of the Great Belt and counter an invasion of Denmark from the Baltic Sea. In addition, the fort's anti-aircraft fire was supposed to protect the Air Force and Navy's radar stations at Langeland.
The location of Langeland's idyllic southern tip signals central contradictions: the idyllic and peaceful landscape versus a military installation. According available information the Warsaw Pact planned to put a 70kTon nuclear bomb on the fort in the early stages of a nuclear war.
The contradictions between the idyllic landscape and nuclear warfare are symptomatic of the Cold War and daily life on the edge of a devastating conflict that at times seemed eerily near.

The island of Ærø just vest of Langeland , and you can nearly walk over there.
Marstal is probably the only Danish city based solely on shipping.
Marstal owes its existence the its natural harbor.
From ancient times, Ærø has a town, Ærøskøbing, with exclusive rights to trade. But Marstal was able to challenge this right because the small island was divided between 4 dukes, and the one owning Mastal had an interest in promoting its trade.
In 1634, during the area when Ærø was divided between the 4 dukes, Marstal came outside the influence of Ærøskøbing, and the duke who took ownership of the part of the island, where Marstal was located promoted the business of maritime traffic in Marstal. The maritime traffic got a boost in 1729 when Marstal came under the Danish king. Before that Marstal was a part of the German part of Denmark, and trade was more difficult . When Marstal came under the Danish king it resulted in the disappearance of a number of customs, which had previously restricted trade.
The Marstallers were known for their focus on their sailing, their great diligence, accuracy, foresight and their ability to cooperate for their cause.
Marstal's history, with focus on the maritime and marine engineering part, is brilliantly told at the Marstal Maritime Museum. Here you can easily get a few days going with all the artefacts and stories from Marstal shipping through the ages. https://www.marmus.dk/

In Marstal's major power days as a maritime city, what is now a marina, was filled with magnificant sailing ships in the winter.

Marstal seen from the ÆrøXpressen.
he harbor of Marstal in 1912 with some of the many sailing vessels that were inactive during the winter months where the weather was too bad, it was too cold and there was less cargo to sail with. In its hey days, almost ¼ of Denmark's total fleet of ships belonged to Marstal, and the town had the second biggest trade fleet in Denmark after Copenhagen.
Although not much shipping remains today, the Marstallers still hold on to their identity as a maritime city. When, in the name of the “Holy Centralization”, in January 2000, central authorities had decided that the Marstal Navigation School should close, a large portion of the island's population went to the Danish Parliament on Friday, January 14 - to protest. And Marstal Navigation School survived.

On Frederiksøen is the beautiful old lime kiln. The harbor pier is an extension of Frederiksøen and Erik Hale. The harbor pier is a huge building made by dedicated shipowners and sailors in the winter while the ships lay still, to protect against storms to the east. It was built for the purpose of the city's sailors from 1821 to 1841 and expanded a few times later.

Before getting a common water supply, the many private wells played the crucial role in the water supply.

Carsten Jensen's bestseller "We, the drowned" is about the sailors from Marstal. Carsten Jensen writes in his novel "All the streets and alleys in Marstal were main streets. They all led down to the World Sea."

Marstal church was built in 1738. 7 votive ships testify to the town's connection to the sea and the development of maritime transport from the 18th century Yacht to the present coaster.
On the tombstone is written a small limerick:
Here rests Christen Hansen at anchor with his wife. He does not embark until he comes before the throne of God.

In the church there are many votive ships (you are in a city dedicated to sailing!).
One of them were a nice model of a Yacht, the most common ship type from the 1700s until long into the 1900s.
When the Marstallers started sailing on the large seas, the Yacht was too small and not seaworthy enough.

We were 50 persons on an excursion with the Langeland Museum Association. We had lunch, which was Labskaus, a culinary specialty from Northern Germany popular among sailors, in the Marstal Marine Association's premises.
In 1988, the Marstal Marine Association acquired its own house, namely the building that since 1921 had housed the Marstal Cinema Theater.
The old cinema is beautifully restored and filled with memories of the members of the Marstal Marine Association's long life at sea.

English cannonball collected after an unsuccessful (from an English point of view) siege and shooting at Marstal in 1808. Image from the Marstal Marine Association's premises.
The many wars at that time, in which Denmark went from a medium-sized naval power to a small agricultural and trade nation, caused many setbacks for Marstal's shipping fleet.
Marshall's prosperity ended with the war with England in 1807 to 1814. Trade stopped, several ships were taken by the English and others lost.
It took several decades for Marstal's shipping to recover.
After the war in 1864, Marstal's shipping from the Danish waters and the Baltic turned to the world seas with larger ships, especially schooners with two or three masts.
Also during both World War I and World War II, Marstal suffered heavy losses at sea by both sailors and ships.

- The harbor protected by Frederiksøen and Eriks Hale. to the north and east.
- There is a natural navigation channel leading to the harbor from the south.
- The sandbar in extension of Ristinge Klint on Langeland makes access from the north more difficult.

On December 18, 2019, the ferry had its first official trip. The ÆrøXpressen is a newly built hybrid ferry, prepared for battery operation. The new ferry is run by a private ferry company, and is the result of several years of work by a group of very dedicated Marstal citizens, https://www.aeroexpressen.dk/en/service/vessel
In the sailing ship era, Marstal was Denmark's second largest port (after Copenhagen) measured in number of ships and tonnage. Not badly done by a small town of today's 2300 inhabitants. Sailing is also part of the city's self-understanding, and it hurts the Marstallers when the ferry connection Marstal - Rudkøbing stopped January 2013 after nearly 150 years of operation.

On our way to Marstal. On the left one of the many shipyards formerly situated in Marstal (https://www.hccbaadevaerft.dk/). This one is still functioning, but not building many new ships.
Today it is mainly the identity as sailors among the inhabitants of the town, that is remaining from the time when Marstal was the second biggest trading harbor in Denmark. No many cargo ships have Marstal as their home town today.

La Gomera, Garanoay NP to the coast/hotel, 15 January 2020We started on top of the island at Garajonay Nacional Park and walked all the way down to our hotel in Valle Gran Rey. We had a lot of beautifull views to the cost and the valley, and were very tired in our legs when we eventually reached the hotel.

The Gomerans are very proud of Garajonay Nacional Park.
The evergreen misty forest, with its unique atmosphere fascinates in the heart of La Gomera. The area around the highest mountain, Garajonay (1487m) has been a national park since 1981. Since 1986 it has also been protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The unique eco-system of the Laurisilva forest in the protected centre f the island is thought to be the remnant of subtropical woods which covered the Mediterranean area during the Tertiary period.

Water is scarse on La Gomera, and it rain during winter, So the Gomerans does a lot of effort to keep the precious water from winter to the summer period.

First with plane rom Copenhagen to Tenerefe, then with bus to Los Christianos, ferry to San Sebastian, La Gomera. Then with bus to Valle Gran Rey where our hotel was situated, It did not help that we had to wait for 5 hours in Los Christianos for the ferry.

Nigardsbreen is a glacier arm of the large Jostedalsbreen glacier.
In front of the Nigardsbreen is the lake Nigardsbrevatnet.
During the first half of the 18th century, the glacier expanded due to cold weather. Then during the winters of 1741-1744 were extremely cold. Apples and pears did not ripen during the summer and the bee populations perished. Between 1700 and 1748, the glacier moved forward about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) completely covering and crushing the "Nigard" farm (hence the name of the glacier). By 1748, the Nigardsbreen covered about 48 square kilometres (19 sq mi). From 1930 until 1939, the glacier retracted again.
From the time we first visited Nigardsbreen 30 years ago, it has retracted substantially. By that time the front was in the Nigardsbrevatnet.

During the trip on the Nærøyfjord we had nice views of small traditional farms on the mountainsides.
Surrounded by towering mountains up to 1,700 metres high, the Nærøyfjord arm of the Sognefjord is very impressive.
The Nærøyfjord is the narrowest and best known of the many arms of the Sognefjord. With its steep mountainsides, hanging valleys, towering peaks, snowfields, waterfalls and small hamlets, this fjord is perhaps the most outstanding natural attraction in Norway.
The Nærøyfjord is 20 km long, only 250 metres across at its narrowest and a mere 12 metres at its shallowest. The surrounding mountains reach heights of 1,660 metres.
UNESCO has included the Nærøyfjord in its World Heritage List. The fjords have also been awarded first place in the list of the National Geograhic Traveller magazine.
Facts about the Nærøyfjord:
Approx. 17 km long
One of the narrowest fjords in Europe
Depth of the fjord varies between 12 and 500 metres
250 metres wide at it's narrowest point, more than 1 km. at the widest
The fjord is an arm of the Sognefjord
It is surrounded by towering mountains
It was included on UNESCO´s World Heritage List in 2005

We boarded Stavanger and the ferry set off trucks and passengers. Until Stavanger we sailed on the open sea but from Stavanger to Bergen we sailed in the achipelago. We passed a number of salmon farms along the way. They have moved from the protected but very vulnerable fjords to the more open archipelago. Here is the first salmon aquaculture we passed.

In Bergen, it rained MUCH - it poured down. We drove for three hours from Bergen along the main road to Oslo to the small but very touristy village of Gudvangen. Fortunately, the rain took off a bit as we got more inland.
A big leap: Here's a picture from the main road from Bergen to Oslo.
It must have been raining a lot in Norway lately because there was plenty of water in the

The ferry from Gudvangen to Kaupanger. In Gudvangen we had booked a hotel, and the next day we went on the ferry over to Kaupanger on the other side of the Sognefjord. The Kaupanger ferries are old ferries that they once saw in Norway, it is a kind of museum route. Down by the ferry was full of Chinese travel companies. There were a lot of offers for the tourists and the staff in the shop and the restaurant were dressed up as Vikings. The trip through the very narrow Nærøfjord to the Sognefjord is part of the concept "Norway in a nutshell" and is obviously very attractive to tourists.

The view from our hotel in Gudvangen towards Nærøfjord. We stayed at an old but renovated hotel which was not as touristy as any of Gudvangen. The hotel was close to the ferry to Kaupanger (everything in Gudvangen is close to the ferry to Kaupanger because Gudvangen is a very small village).

This year it is the Mols Bjerge National Park includes 180 km2 ice-age landscape. Mols Bjerge National Park has large forests, moors and open dry grasslands as well as lakes, coastal areas and the sea. The park lies in the middle of Jutland where the peninsula has an extension to the east. The park area extends from the coast of Kattegat in the east to the forests at Kalø in the west, from the winding inlets in the south across the magnificent moraine formations of the hills of Mols Bjerge to the outwash plains of the Ice Age in the north.

Locals and tourists can experience the anatomy of a fish, bake pancakes, drive in the donkey cart and much, much more.
Also sailing trips from the port of Ristinge with the old schooner Meta from 1884 are on the program. The water depth outside the harbor of Ristinge is not impressive, and this year the last trip ended with a stranding. Will Meta be sailing again, or rests it still stranded there?

Meta is sailingt again. The drama at Ristinge ends happily.
The schooner META is a wooden ship that sails every summer on sightseeing trips and sunset trips with locals and tourist from the three ports of Svendborg, Rudkøbing and Marstal. The schooner META was built by shipbuilder Christoffersen in Assens in 1884. Meta sailed until 1938 as a freighter, after which it was rigged into stone fisherman. In 1961 Meta was sold to Copenhagen, where it sailed with anglers, and after that it was given up and moored in 1978. In 1979, Meta was rescued by a group of people from Rudkøbing and then furnished as a pleasure craft.

Still we have the unpleasant habit of putting a figure of a witch on top of the bonfire. The habit of putting a figure of a witch on top of the St. Hans bonfire is relatively new. For approx. 150 - 200 years ago, and even further back, bonfires did not include the burning of figures of witches. The witch is a symbol of the evil which will be eliminated by the fire.

Praia do Barril, Algarve, Portugal, 2019-04-25At Praia do Barril we walked across the Ria Formosa to the barrier island protecting the highly productive lagoon system from the sea.
Ria Formosa, - The Natural Park - occupies 18.400 ha and are separated from the sea by a cordon of barrier islands and fed in freshwater by small, seasonal water streams. The Ria Formosa nature park includes diverse habitats - dunes, marshlands, mud flats, pine woods and agricultural areas. It has a varied bird fauna, especially wader who migrate to this area in the winter.
Today we visited the Barril beach, connected to the mainland by a miniature railway. The 1km railway was originally used for hauling goods and freshly caught fish between the fishing community and the village of Pedras D’el Rei but today transports overly excited children and tired parents!
Back in the days, life on Praia do Barril revolved around tuna fishing (bluefin tuna). The beach had a small tuna fishing village. There were about 80 fishermen who lived here with their families, during the tuna fishing season (which lasted from April to September every year). In the second half of the 20th century, the bluefin tuna moved to other waters, which started the decline of the tuna fishing industry here. Nowadays, there is no more bluefin tuna in the waters of the Algarve. The beach started focusing on tourism instead. The old buildings that were used by the tuna fishermen are now converted into restaurants, bars and other facilities

In prehistoric times many people settled at the Ria Formosa lagoon. A fortified a settlement was built long before the Romans transformed it into a town called Ossonoba to become Faro.
The Romans rebuilt the wall around the main city area, which corresponds now to the Old Town, where the forum, the temples and other public buildings were situated. In the Roman period the town grew outside the city walls, where a second quarter consisted mainly in rich patrician houses.
Faro became a Bishop’s seat in the 4th century and kept it even after the Visigoth occupation in the 5th century. These people of Germanic origin, ruled the city until the Moors conquered and occupied it in the 8th century and improved the city wall.
The Moorish occupation would last about 500 years. Towards the end of this period, the city became the capital of an independent Moorish kingdom, ruled by a family called Harun, whose name would give origin to the actual name of Faro.
The famous Arabian geographer Edrici wrote: “The town is built near the ocean and its walls are washed by the ocean at high tide. It is a town of a reasonable size and nice outlook. It has a main mosque, a secondary mosque and an oratory”.
The Portuguese king Afonso III conquered Faro in 1249 and integrated it into the Portuguese territory. The city of Faro was defended by strong walls and large wooden doors. In order to enter the city, the Portuguese brought a large quantity of wood, placed it in front of the main city door and burned the wood. When the door was destroyed, Portuguese soldiers stormed into the city.
As in many other conquered cities, the main mosque was replaced by a Christian gothic Church, called Santa Maria church (now Cathedral). Short after the conquest, the Moorish population that lived in the town (‘Mouros Forros’ in old Portuguese), was granted civil rights and the maintenance of their economical activities, such as farming, trade and handicrafts.
Outside the city wall there were two other important quarters: the Moorish quarter and the Jewish quarter. The first book pressed in Portugal was pressed in a Jewish typography of Faro.
In 1596, in a period when Spanish kings ruled Portugal, an English army of about 3000 men, commanded by the Earl of Essex, sacked the town. They burned some buildings and seized the library of the Bishop of Faro.
The 18th century was a period of economic wealth in the history of Faro, mainly due to the gold from Brazil.
Unfortunately, the earthquake of 1755 destroyed many buildings in Faro. However, the destruction was relatively less than in other cities in the Algarve, due to the sandy banks of the Ria Formosa lagoon protecting the city of Faro. After the earthquake, the capital of the Algarve changed from Lagos to Faro. The earthquake destruction gave opportunity for a large-scale city restoration (mainly in neoclassical style) and the building of a few remarkable buildings.
At the centre of the old town is the main square, the Largo da Sé, with the cathedral on one side and the Episcopal palace on another. The cathedral is very simple in style on the outside but inside it is rather more ornate with gilded carvings and decorated tiles.
Along the sea front the main row of shops includes some beautiful buildings including the Bank of Portugal

Stork nests are perched on top of just about every one of the old chapels. Turns out there are all inhabited by a rather large stork population that covers a large portion of Faro. Being a protected species within Portugal prevents the removal of these conspicuous bundles of roughage.

Trails of Barrocal, Algarve, Portugal, 2019-04-23The Barrocal area marks the transition between the small coastal strip and the mountains of the Serra. This area is also known as the "beira-serra" (literally the mountain edge).
Most of the agricultural produce of the Algarve originates from this fertile area, particularly citrus and other fruits, vegetable and olives. Honey and almonds are also among the typical regional produce. Before the plantation of cork oaks had moved to the north into the Alentejo, the area was also an important centre of cork production.

Cistus ladanifer is a species of flowering plant in the family Cistaceae. It is native to the western Mediterranean region. Common names include gum rockrose, laudanum, labdanum, common gum cistus, and brown-eyed rockrose.
It is a shrub growing 1–2.5 m. The leaves are evergreen. The whole plant is covered with the sticky exudate of fragrant resin, the source of labdanum, used in herbal medicine and perfumery.
C. ladanifer is particularly well suited to the Continentalized Mediterranean climate, standing both long summer droughts and cold weather. It is an extremely aggressive plant which has taken over much of former farmland and grasslands in the mountain regions of central Spain and much of southern Portugal.

Lavandula stoechas, the Spanish lavender or topped lavender is naturally in several Mediterranean countries, including France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece.
Like other lavenders, it is associated with hot, dry, sunny conditions in alkaline soils.
Lavandula stoechas is used commercially in air fresheners and insecticides. Flower spikes have been used internally for headaches, irritability, feverish colds and nausea, and externally for wounds, rheumatic pain and as an insect repellent. The lavender also produces essential oils, which are not used economically. The infusion of its dry inflorescences are febrifuge and fight the affections of the chest and bronchi. It is used as antiseptic, digestive, antispasmodic, healing and antibacterial. The flowers are used in aromatherapy, to prepare infusions and essential oils.
Since its introduction into Australia, it has become an invasive species, widely distributed within the continent. It has been declared a noxious weed in Victoria since 1920. It also is regarded as a weed in parts of Spain.
