| Café with Menu, Museum, Galleri and Summerflowers. |
Upon the small island Alrø is a quite special café and restaurant. The island lies in Horsens fjord with two other islands Hjarnø and Vorsø nearby, Hjarnø has a ferry to the nearby little harbour Snaptun and Vorsø is a protected island with no public access.
Alrø has a dam to the northern coast of Horsens fjord at Sondrup. There is one trafifc road through the island and the café lies in the western end near the ferry place with a little ferry to Snaptun, only meant for hikers and bikers.
The Café Alrø has been established by some very creative people. It's an entertaining place to visit with various funny and interesting things The café is also known for its good menu. One special dish is extremely popular, it's and old Danish dish, tartlet with chicken in asparagus sauce. Sold portions are counted each year. Upon the island is another restaurant, a gourmet restaurant by the traffic road, "Møllegården". Café Alrø and Møllegården open in the summer season. See the links.

I love this ... the singing rock! hahaaa
Always interesting... and beautiful photography.
Was the swallowtail tethered? or just floated freely ... how beautiful.
I’d like to taste the tartlet with chicken in asparagus sauce in person, enjoying the unique, creative arts. Your new header shows how your summer is beautiful. Have happy days ahead, Grethe.

Hej Carolyn, yes, I forgot to say that the butterfly is not tethered. There were two butterflies flying freely around some flowers.
The singing rock (rock is a much better name than stone- I have changed it!) - there were seven rocks with different figures, one with a strange flat mermaid, another with two geese( there are lots of geese on alrø in winter) another with a funny pig etc.- similar rocks were also placed along the traffic road. I think those creative people are good for this little island which has been "dead" for some years. Creative people can change things!

hej Yoko, I'm going to Cafe Alrø on my birthday - it is not far from Århus - to have this "legendary" tartlet. I have heard so much about it - and now I want to know if it is so good. And we'll have to go before summer season is over! The summer has flown away hasn't it? I see that you've got a heat wave where you live. It has been warmer here, but not that much.
Also happy days to you.
