Søen på øen i Fjorden
Fra land over vand over land til søen i midten.
Her finder du skatten på søens bund. 0,5 meter

Kattinge Vig, omkranset af Bognæs og Boserup Skovene med Roskilde Domkirkes tårne kiggene frem over bakkerne, må da vist være Danmarks smukkeste vig. Året rundt er Kattinge Vig indbegrebet af et dansk guldalderlandskab, hvor ”bøgen spejler sin top i bølgen blå”.

Midt i alt dette ligger Ringøen, som vel nok er fjordens bedst kendte ø. Øen består – som navnet siger – af en smal stribe land, som omkranser en lavvandet sø. Dens geologiske herkomst er de lærde ikke ganske enige om, så vi skal undlade at tilføje flere gisninger, men nøjes med at konstatere, at nord- og sydspidsen ender i et lille rev, mens der i øvrigt er ret dybt rundt om øen.

ENGLISH:
The lake on the island ind the Fjord
From land over water over land to the lake in the middle.
Here you will find the treasure in the lake bottom.

Kattinge Vig, surrounded as it is by Bognæs and Boserup woods and with the towers of Roskilde Cathedral peeping out over the hills, must be the most beautiful inlet in Denmark. All year round Kattinge Vig is the very epitome of a Danish Golden Age landscape, where ”the beech tops are reflected in the blue waters.” (This is a line from the Danish National Anthem).

Ringøen, probably the best known island in the fjord, lies in the middle of all this. As the name suggests, the island consists of a narrow strip of land encircling a shallow lake. The experts do not agree about its geological origin, so we will not speculate, but merely state that the north and south points end in a little reef, whilst the water around the rest of the island is quite deep.
