Stendyssen på Ristinge Klint
Fra stendyssen på toppen af Ristinge Klint er der en fantastisk udsigt til alle sider. Mod vest ligger Ærø og det sydfynske øhav, mod nord ses Fyn, Tåsinge, Strynø og Langelandsbroen ved Rudkøbing og mod syd skimtes Tyskland i klart vejr. Flottest af alt er dog solnedgangen her på de lune sommeraftener, som naturligt føjer sig til den endeløse række af "verdens flotteste solnedgange"...
Der går en smuk sti fra parkeringspladsen ved 54N49.495 / 010E37.551 og langs klinten til dyssen (15-20 min). Ved dysse-pælen (hvid pæl) forlader man kysten og går op til dyssen. Modige sjæle kan klatre op på dyssen, hvorfra udsigten er endnu bedre. Selve cachen ligger af praktiske grunde lidt fra dyssen - bemærk at cachen kan nås uden at gå ud i markerne! Cachen er en 0.75 liters fryseboks (med plads til de fleste TBs) der ligger ovenpå jorden.
"Fragmenter"
"Fragmenter" er en seks minutters kortfilm om en dansk stendysse, som blev optaget her i starten af 1970'erne. Dyssen blev besøgt 24 gange på 2½ år og hver gang var det som at komme til en ny verden. Lyset, vejret og farverne gjorde, at den blev oplevet forskelligt for hvert besøg. Da de mange besøg skulle stykkes sammen til et hele, var de som fragmenter af mange oplevelser. Deraf opstod filmens titel, "Fragmenter" - fragmenter af oplevelser og fragmenter af tid. "Fragmenter" modtog i 1973 den meget prestigefyldte pris, "The Golden Hugo Award" ved Chicago International Film Festival - kåret som den bedste af 120 film fra hele verden.
The dolmen on Ristinge Klint
You'll get a fantastic 360-degree panorama from the 5.000 year old dolmen on the top of Ristinge Klint. To the west the island of Ærø and the South Funian archipelago is clearly visible, to the North you can see Funen, Tåsinge and the bridge to Langeland at Rudkøbing and to the South you can see the German coast when the weather is clear enough. Nicest of all is the sunset here on a clear and warm summer evening. A sunset worthy of joining the ever growing list of the "world's most beautiful sunset" that any modern tourist destination must have ;-)
A small path follows the coast from the parking at 54N49.495 / 010E37.551 (15 to 20 mins). Follow the coast and look out for the dolmen signpole where you have to turn right (inland). You will find the dolmen soon after. Brave geocachers can climb to the top of the dolmen to enjoy the best view. For practical reasons the cache is placed a short distance from the dolmen - please be aware, that it is possible to reach the cache without crossing into the fields!. The cache is a 0.75 litre plastic box (with room for most TBs) placed on top of the ground.
"Fragments"
"Fragments" is a six minute short film about a Danish dolmen, which was recorded here at the beginning of the 1970s. The dolmen was visited 24 times in 2½ years and each time it was as to come to a new world. The light, the weather and the colors made it look differently for each visit. As the many visits were pieced together into a whole, they became fragments of many experiences. Hence arose the film's title, "Fragments" - fragments of experiences and fragments of time. "Fragments" received the very prestigious price, "The Golden Hugo Award at the Chicago International Film Festival in 1973 - chosen as the best of 120 films from around the world.
