KAYAKING IN DENMARK: Møgelø i Julsø

Kayak Page

In a very nice autumn weekend i August 2004 we joined the other kayak clubs from Århus. This was the annual tour to the most beautiful lake district in Denmark. We did some serious sunshine rowing in the nearby lakes. Just on the other bank of Julsø you see the world wide famous (?) "Himmelbjerg tårn" (Sky mountain tower) at a level of say some 140m - not much - but a very popular place for sightseeing.

Here you see some of my photos and a couple from Nils, Skjold Kayak Club (Thanks!). I used my waterproof camera. Hence it was possible for me to take photos from my kayak - without be afraid for dropping it into the lakes - which is the only bad experience I have had until now doing kayaking.

When we entered the small lake Eagle Lake (Ørnsø) I saw two fishing eagles. For the first time I saw an eagle dive down into the water a picking up a fish - and if flew with the fish for some time between its claws. Vow - that was rather a exciting experience. Some times you get lucky. With that in mind I raw very pleased repeating to my self "Yes I saw a fishing eagle" to the small channel which lead you to Silkeborg Long Lake. 

Here you can be lucky to see the beautiful Kingfisher .....with all senses tuned in I entered as the first in our group in the channel.  After some minutes I was lucky again. THERE the steel blue small Kingfisher escaped from a small tree further up the channel......and later on again.  Jeep, that was surely my very lucky day.

We continued onto the water fountain near the center of Silkeborg - and it was nice to get a cold shower in the sunny weather. And for the first time with an other photographer nearby - Thanks to Nils from Skjold Kayak Club.
