A new day, a new hike! We set off for Nordfyn, more specifically: the island of Æblo. This island is not far from the larger island of Fyn, accessible only by a path that is only accessible at low tide. By not far, I mean about a 60-minute walk through water. Yes, through water, because even at low tide, the path still leads knee-deep through the sea (in this case the Kattegat Sea).
So take off your shoes and dive in. The way there is relatively uncomplicated, you will be reminded of the weaknesses of your body, but that quickly passes. If you listen to the screeching of the various seagulls, pass some fellow hikers (yes, there are German families on vacation here too) and let the vastness of the surroundings sink in, you will have already reached the first island.
Others are now putting their shoes back on - not us. We walk barefoot across the island, among delicate purple bluebells and pink carnations, through thorny low roses. Not so great: the second section to the actual destination is only connected by a short water hike, but without the sandy ground. Ugh, rocks! Once you've overcome them, you will come to a truly idyllic island (despite the people who should be there - they seem to have gotten lost).
Beech forest, that tall jungle fern again (too bad Agnes still hasn't found out the name of this plant) and tranquility.
After a small circuit, we started the way back. And it must be said; once you have the second water passage behind you, only a good sip of barefoot wine and then off to bed can help.
