Regardless of the weather. Regardless of the time of day. Kalø Castleruins Only a few elements waver. It's as if everything stands still. Even the steam from Studstrup Power Station appears to waver in the silence. The sky here at Kalø is always an experience. It's as if it's a little wider and a little longer than anywhere else. Small stones and large stones break the surface that mirrors the sky. Who lurks out there? Who lurks out there in the 700-year-old tower? Could it be Erik Menved - the one who built the old royal fortress? Or perhaps it's the Swedish king Gustav Vasa, who was once imprisoned out there? I don't know. But the eye stares at me, and if it weren't for the infinite tranquility I feel on Mols, I might shudder at the thought. Kalø Castle Ruins Were voices carried across the bay? This longest (and oldest) medieval road in Denmark leads me on supporting cobblestones to the small peninsula in the Aarhus Bay, where the fortification against rebels and foreigners rests. Was it just as quiet back then? And were the sounds of horses over the cobblestones the only thing one could hear? Were voices carried across the bay? Kalø Castle Ruins Cow dung, English grass, and saltwater When you sit on one of the many walls that once surrounded the castle, you can see the sun setting over Aarhus. Sometimes, a few cows pass by. The scent of cow dung, English grass, and saltwater fills the air. Lise Kryger, Kalø Castle Ruins The many thoughts the journey brings Sometimes, the sun captures you. Then you just sit there, letting yourself be blinded and silenced in the red glow of the sun. That's often how I remember Kalø. The silence. The warmth. The wind. The cold. The ruggedness. The many thoughts the journey brings. And Peter. Peter Vejrum Terp, Kalø Castle Ruins Sunset over Kalø Castle Ruins Suddenly, it can become so dark. And sometimes the weather changes while I'm out there. The clouds sailing over and casting their shadows across the bay make room for sunbeams and special moments when the sun sets over Kalø.
