Looking south towards Roskilde at the small and old ferry COLUMBUS leaving Sølager (Soelager) just south of Hundested headed for Kulhuse on the other side of the Isefjord. This ferry connection is one of four on the Isefjord fiord or inlet. A larger ferry crosses the Isefjord from Hundested to Rørvig just north of Sølager. The steel ferry M/F COLUMBUS was originally built at Frederiksstad in Norway in 1947 and sailed under Norwegian flag on Glommen until it was sold to Denmark in 1962 and rebuilt for the sailing between Kulhuse and Sølager. It was named COLUMBUS after a shipbuilder's dachshund. The ferry can moor at a ramp directly on the beach, but it has poor engine power. You will often see the ferry fight the north and south going currents and waves midway in order to keep course. Sølager was an early fishing hamlet with fishing boats hauled up on the beach. More early than you would imagine: a kitchen midden deriving from early antiquity 4900-3900 found at Sølager on a south-facing slope just above the strandline of the Littorina Sea.
