Egeløkke - The discovery

The first time I experienced the place was back in 2019. It was unplanned and I had no idea the place existed. I was just on a little hike and ended up there completely by chance.

Egeløkke is located on the island of Langeland in Denmark.

Approaching

There is something very special about this place - almost magical. When I approach Egeløkke for the first time one afternoon in July it is like entering into another world. A world where time has stood still and as I approach I feel a kind of attraction towards the place - something I have never experienced anywhere else. I feel like I am at home and I think: Could I have lived here once in a previous life?

A narrow road leads up from the path I have been following and I walk slowly up towards this strange long house that I see from afar. I think it is possibly inhabited and I don't want to step into people's yard like a stupid tourist. Eventually I understand that no one lives there so I take a chance and go into the yard.

The strange house

There are several large buildings attached to this farm but it is the long strange house that attracts my attention and gives me this strange feeling of belonging here. It does not appear to be in use but it is clear that someone is taking care of the property.
