In Chapter Six, Mrs. Johansen, Annemarie, and Ellen take the train to Uncle Henrik's house in Gilleleje. When they step off the train at the station, they have to walk about two miles to Uncle Henrik's house.
As it is a nice day, Mrs. Johansen suggests they take the path through the woods; all three make their way to the outskirts of the village on foot. Along the way, Mrs. Johansen shows the girls where her Aunt Gitte and her best friend, Helena, used to live. Soon, they come to a dirt path leading into the woods. Mrs. Johansen tells the girls this is where her faithful dog, Trofast, used to wait for her every afternoon after school. Upon emerging from the woods, they then come upon a 'meadow dotted with cows.' As they walk along the path that skirts the edge of the field, they can see beyond to the sea.
More walking eventually takes the women into the woods again. Mrs. Johansen and the girls are relieved to eventually come to Uncle Henrik's home in a clearing just beyond the woods.
