Tips

Wolf Beyenburg

Well, the title is a bit misleading. There are no memorials or monuments here. On Knøsen, there is a plaque adorned with the crown's coat of arms, which, however, simply prohibits the lighting of fires on the summit and within a 12-meter radius. Otherwise, there are only two old boundary stones here. So far, so unspectacular. However, between the mountains, there is a monument that immediately catches the eye of the connoisseur of cinematography and strikes them like a bolt of lightning. A monolithic, brick stele without any decoration or inscription. Captivating in its utter meaninglessness and lostness in the forest. But it was precisely this magical place that inspired Stanley Kubick, during a vacation in Denmark in the early 1960s, to create his immortal film monument "2001: A Space Odyssey," a story conceived around the monolithic stele. Of course, only the monkeys in the film are the result of artistic license, but a glance over your shoulder for safety in the deep forest is certainly not a bad idea...
