The inhabitants of the Owlery weny south. We went to Haraldsted, a little village in southern Zealand. This place was a known pilgrimage before the reformation in Denmark. In 1331 Duke Canute was killed there and a spring sprnag forth. He vas canonized in 1170.
Og hvis nogen siger at man ikke kan tage på valfart med hunde, har de i hvert fald ikke talt med Ugleungerne for nyligt. De mener at hunde og valfarter passer strålende sammen.
And let noone say that dogs are not welcome on a pilgrimage. The Owlets found it just fine.

Where the spring sprang forth a chapel was built. It fell into disuse and disrapair after the reformation, and the stones was carried away by locals. It was rediscovered in 1883.

Uglemor,
SvarSletI followed your link and then another one... and discovered Denmark has a few recognised saints. We only have one : Mary McKillop. It's always uplifting to go on a pilgrimage, especially in the company of good people and a handsome dog!
. If you look at the last 400 years Australia and Denmark have the same number of saints, as all the Danish saints are pre-reformation saints, the only "new" one is Blessed Niels Steensen, who died in 1686.
