Surrounded by 350 vinterkåde water lovers of both sexes jumped to the countess Alexandra on Friday morning in the waves in Skagen.

Despite the biting cold was the morale high. Alexandra enjoyed his morning shower by Skagen Vinterbadefestival.

– It was an incredibly lovely experience. And great to be surrounded by so many wonderful people, it sounded from Alexandra, who had to fight himself up from the Kattegat sea and surrounded by photographers from near and far.

it Was a cold place?

– Njarh, after all, right in the beginning, but it did not last very long. And now afterwards one has the nice, said Alexandra.

Wearing a comely bathing suit and a knitted cap jumped the countess in the wave with the president of the Skagen-baderne, Mette Hust, in his hand. Around them tumbled hardcore winter bathers in the waves and cheered. Two divers were ready a little farther out, if someone were to come in distress at sea;.

right up on the land she got the eye of the writer Religious Views, who have written a book together with Alexandra.

– it was a good idea, Rikke, exclaimed Alexandra and gave Religious Views in a royal hug.

– She goes in the water on an equal footing with all others. She gets no special treatment and take it as completely as the rest of us, it sounded from Mette Hust, who is the chairman of the Vinterbaderklubben Perhaps and Skagen Vinterbaderfestival, to Ekstra Bladet.

the Festival begins on Friday and lasts till Sunday.
