Gilbjerg in Gilleleje was one of Søren Kierkegaard’s favourite places...

... where the narrow paths turn and twist along the steep cliffs by Kattegat. Here, he walked in the summer of 1835, 22 years old. During these walks, he philosophised about life and of things bigger than himself. 
To Kierkegaard it was about nature’s religious effect where you, through tranquillity and concentration, can obtain a higher enlightenment and understanding of yourself.
