The road unfurls west from Copenhagen, a ribbon of highway cutting through low farmland and ribboning beech copses, and you arrive at a castle that still sits like a deliberate idea in the water. For two hours the transfer pauses at Egeskov — a 16th-century water castle whose conical towers and defensive openings read as architecture and theatrical performance at once. The lake reflects slate roofs and park trees; the air moves across the moat and dares you to slow down.
