Tips from the Community
The Infinite Bridge is located at Varna Strand/Ballehage Strand in Aarhus. The circular wooden bridge construction leads from the beach out into the Aarhus Bay. It is a popular destination for locals and tourists. The Infinite Bridge was first exhibited in 2015 in connection with the event "Sculptures by the Sea". The people of Aarhus were so enthusiastic about the artwork that they established it as a permanent solution with the help of the city – as a work of art and as an incomparably great bathing jetty. https://www.visitaarhus.de/region-aarhus/reiseplanung/die-endlose-bruecke-gdk1092521

Bregnet Kirke is beautifully located overlooking Egens Vig. Some carved stones on the pedestal are likely the remains of a former Romanesque church. The inventory dates from a restoration in 1872, during which everything original was discarded except for the Romanesque baptismal font with a lion motif. Often, Romanesque stone churches replaced an older wooden church. This was of course also the case in Bregnet. Perhaps the first church was built as a pilgrimage church in connection with the holy "Tobias spring" in Ringelmoseskoven, east of the church. https://www.visitaarhus.de/region-aarhus/reiseplanung/bregnet-kirche-gdk606023

The short half kilometer across the dam to the Kalø Castle ruins is also a journey into a past of over 700 years ago.

We cycled there from Aarhus along beautiful riverside paths. It was a wonderful experience to walk on the water like that.

Impressive tree. Translation of the information board: "You probably still have a long way to go before you reach the large step ahead. This is an ash tree that we believe is at least 100 years old. Large and old ash trees are a rare sight in Denmark because ash disease is caused by a fungus that causes the upper branches of the trees to die and the leaves to fall off. Unfortunately, many ash trees and stands are affected by this fungus. Fortunately, this tree does not appear to be affected by the fungus. In 2019, this tree was designated a "Tree of Life," which means it is protected and may not be felled for production. We would therefore like to ask you to help us protect the ash tree by not stepping on the fence, climbing the tree, or poking at it. This way, the ash tree will hopefully remain standing for many years to come and bring joy to many people.
