Imagine peering into the depths of a crevice, a natural chasm carved into the bedrock of Paradisbakkerne. This is Linkisten, a place with a captivating history. A narrow split in the hillside, the Linkisten, is closed off at both ends by giant boulders. This hidden gorge is named after a woman named Lin who, according to legend, fell into the fissure with her child on her shoulder, leaving a tragic end to their story. Their fatal plunge is said to have inspired the name “Kiste af Lin” – the coffin of Lin – which evolved into the Linkisten. Today, the Linkisten serves as a reminder of the ancient power of the natural world and the poignant tales that have become intertwined with it. While the exact origins of the name may be debated, the Linkisten remains a captivating spot, a testament to the enduring power of the natural world.
