EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the charming lakeside town of Silkeborg, Denmark, in the early 1910s, as depicted in this evocative photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library. The image captures the picturesque Aaparti Hostel, a beloved Danish vandrehjem (hiking hostel) nestled along the shores of the serene Silkeborg Lake. The hostel, which translates to 'apartment' in English, exudes a rustic charm with its wooden exterior, gabled roof, and inviting veranda. The surrounding landscape is dotted with lush greenery, and the lake's tranquil waters reflect the clear blue sky above. In the foreground, a group of locals engage in a lively scene of recreational activities. A man rows a traditional Danish boat, while another man and a young boy prepare to launch a kayak or canoe. The joy and camaraderie on their faces are a testament to the simple pleasures of a bygone era. The Aaparti Hostel was a popular destination for travelers during the early 1900s, especially during the Danish hiking movement of the 1910s and 1930s. It provided affordable accommodations and a welcoming atmosphere for weary hikers, offering a place to rest, socialize, and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to imagine the stories and memories of the people who once gathered at the Aaparti Hostel. Today, the hostel continues to welcome visitors, offering a unique and authentic Danish experience that transports us back in time.
