EBELTOFT BY NATUREN HUS OG HAVE SLÆGTSFORSKNING MINE HUNDE FERIER
As a
pensioner, I am so lucky to be able to enjoy my retirement in Ebeltoft with my
husband Arne. Ebeltoft is the town of my childhood and is one of the most
beautiful places in Denmark. Although I have lived elsewhere for more than 30
years, I have always felt a special connection to this nice, old town and the
beautiful area.
Since
we live on the outskirts of the town, we have nature up close. We have deer,
squirrels, hedgehogs, and foxes inside and around our garden. We have 25 - 30
different bird species that we feed and enjoy all year round and we have a small
garden pool for the birds, lots of frogs, salamanders and once in a while also a
grass snake.
The
beach is close, although we cannot see the sea from the house. To one side there
is 1½ km to a beautiful cove called Ebeltoft Vig and the blue waves of the
Kattegat we can find only 3 km to the other side.
It is
great to be here all year round. In the summertime the tourists are coming. They
want to see the many sights of the town and the area around it or enjoy our
beautiful beaches. It is nice to take a walk in the town or sit on a bench and
enjoy an ice cream while the holiday people in shorts and beach dresses swarm
around and speak many different languages. Along the narrow, paved Adelgade and
in the squares, street musicians and inventive street vendors try to earn an
extra penny. There are fun and happy days. In the evening, a pair of night
watchmen walk around the streets and every hour the old watchmen’s songs are
sung in front of the Old Town Hall. Restaurants and cafes are buzzing with life.
It almost feels like being on vacation yourself.
In the
wintertime it is quiet and peaceful here. Ice cream shops, souvenir shops and
some of the restaurants are closed. The town is resting after the summer’s
busyness.
It is
nice too, because all of a sudden, we, the local people, meet each other again
in the supermarket, shops or just on the street, for a little chat. Perhaps we
meet for the many activities of both sporting and cultural nature, which mostly
take place in the wintertime. I hardly need to mention that Ebeltoft covered
with snow is beautiful and romantic as a Christmas card and just at Christmas
time, the local shops are doing a lot to
decorate the town and make events.
I will
on this page show pictures from the town and the area. There are also pictures
from my house and garden and finally some of my interests that I as a pensioner
have a lot of time to go in for.
Welcome
and have a look.
