Gilleleje: Gilbjerghoved.

tion are many fine walks and points of view. The tra in from Ilornbsek continues its way to Kildc- krotj and Dronningemellc, in the neighbourhood of which is situated the Ilulcrod Bd- dehotel, from the tower of which is a wide view on the C attegat to the big promon­ tory of K ullcn in Sweden. Passing Firhoj and Soborg, one reaches the term inus of the railway, Gilleleje. Gilleleje is a. large, town- like village, beautifully situ a­ ted in a valley between the steep hills of Nakkehoved and Gilbjerghoved. I t has a good harbour and is much frequen­ ted by summer guests, for wich reason the number of

villas is strongly increasing. On account of the summer- storms from Cattegat, the bathing-houses are placed on the beach. Bathing from the beach itself is perm itted eve­ rywhere. Oilbjerg is the most nor­ thern point of Sealand and west of the town. Towards the E ast is Nakkehoved with the light-house, one of the oldest in Denmark, built in 1771. From the harbour along the mole is a wide view' on C atte­ gat and the Swedish coast to Ilelsingborg. From here too the promontory of Kullcn may be seen, when the wea­ ther is bright.
