Bjerget
Dansk
Bjerget er et område på Urehoved - men der er nu ikke meget bjerg over det. Ærøs højeste punkt (Synneshøj nær Bregninge) er ikke mere end 68 meter, så måske det er derfor, der ikke skal så meget til, for at imponere os ærøboer.
Her ligger større sommerhuse, som de lidt rigere indbyggere i Ærøskøbing opførte, hvis de ikke kunne nøjes med et lille etrums strandhus.
Ligesom på Vestre Strand er det her man koger æg lørdag i påsken, dvs. mødes omkring et bål med æg, pølser og øl. På skrænten holder alle mulige til, men den yderste del af Bjerget, der vender ind mod Møllegab, er forbeholdt de unge.
Æggekogningen er en århundredegammel ærøsk tradition. Oprindeligt var det forbeholdt øens større børn, som gik rundt på gårdene påskelørdag. Som tak for påskesange fik de æg, som de tog med til stranden og kogte i havvand. Festlighederne har øndret sig betragteligt og de voksne er kommet med. Dagen betragtes som national helligdag på hele Ærø.
Cachen kan med fordel tages sammen med de øvrige i området. Se ruteforslag til en gåtur i cachen GC3RQ2D Vestre Strand.
English
Bjerget (the Mountain) is an area at Urehoved - but it's not much of a mountain. The hights point on Ærø (Synneshøj near Bregninge) is not more than 68 metres, so maybe that is why, the people of Ærø are not hard to impress when it comes to hights.
Here are a few summer cottages built by the somewhat richer inhabitants from Ærøskøbing who wanted (and could afford) more than just a small cottage as the ones by Vestre Strand.
As at Vestre Strand this is where the people of Ærøskøbing boil eggs on the Saturday during Easter. This means that people gather to make bonfires, eat eggs, sausages, and drink beer. Bjerget is where the young people gather.
"Æggekogning" (boiling eggs) is a centuries old tradition on Ærø. Originally it was the older children who walked to the nearby farms to sing Easter songs. They were rewarded with eggs which they went down to the beaches to boil. Today it has changed a lot and the adults celebrate too. The day is considered a national holiday on the entire island
The cache can be found along with the others in the area. A route proposal is given in the cache GC3RQ2D Vestre Strand.
