On average, we have 5 days with snow in March in Denmark. I was quite surprised when I read that – because I thought we hardly had 5 snowy days a year, not a month. Never mind, any amount of days with snow is good for me! One such day was in the beginning of March, with a light snow at night, and a little frost in the morning. I thought it could be the last chance to see the snow from air this season.
After the pre-flight check was completed, I invited Flemming onboard:
And indeed, there was some snow south of Holbæk:
It was actually very nice to observe those fields covered in a thin white layer:
But when we came closer, it would almost disapper, so little snow there was left…
After getting enough of the snowy landscapes, Flemming and I decided to fly to the southwest corner of Zealand, and have a look at the beautiful islands there – we thought we needed some inspiration to our walking tours.
On the picture below is Østerfed – a beautiful sandbank. It can only be reached from the island of Glænø (far left).
Previously, one could walk all the way down to Bisserup harbour, but it is no longer possible due to a natural breakthrough of the sandbank.
Nice inlet between the Østerfed and Glænø island:
We did many pictures there of all those swirls under the water, where one could see the sand movement.
The Inter Terminals in Stigsnæs, the company is the largest independent bulk liquid storage provider in Scandinavia, with more than 3 million cubic metres of storage capacity located across 8 terminals:
We continued to Omø island in the Great Belt. The island’s shape reminded me of Anholt from air:
Omø is approx. 4.5 km2, has a church and a small harbour. I long wanted to visit it on foot, together with the Agersø island, separated from Omø by the Omø Sound:
Agersø island is a bit bigger – approx. 7 km2. Both islands are reachable by a small ferry. I hope to visit them soon.
Then we flew over Korsør, a town near the Great Belt Bridge. The town is divided into two halves by the Korsør Nor Inlet:
Korsør has the world’s oldest movie theater that is still operating – The Korsør Biograf Teater, which opened in August 1908
Back home, the wind was getting stronger. I logged my hours, and Flemming helped preparing my Aeroprakt for the future flight.
When finished, we went for some light and easy hiking, and ended up on the small Munkholm island of approx. 1 km2. There were several incredibly beautiful snow/ice formations by the beach, like many very thin layers of ice on top of each other, and they were very difficult to photograph. We had to admire them live, whilst they lasted:
Flemming warmed up the food, and we also had a chance to test his new camping gear. Everything worked perfect, and it was so nice to sit there on the ground in stillness, and listen to the sound of soft waves, breaking towards the shore.
There were a couple of swans in the water, but they rushed away as soon as they saw us.
It was good to finish the day with the walk in the nature.
