På Lyø kan du ringe til de døde fra en telefonboks. Den kaldes vindtelefonen og står på en lille bakke i et buskads. Et fredfyldt sted med udsigt til havet.
Ideen med vindtelefonen stammer fra Japan hvor Itaru Sasaki sørgede over sin afdøde fætter som han mistede i 2010. Han fik den ide at købe en telefonboks og placerede den med udsigt over Stillehavet. Hver dag ringede han til sin fætter og ordene fløj med vinden. Derfor navnet "vindtelefon".
Vindtelefonen er den eneste i Europa og bruges af mennesker, der har mistet en af sine kære.


On Lyø you can call the dead from a telephone box. It is called the wind telephone and stands on a small hill in a bush. A peaceful place overlooking the sea.
The idea for the wind phone originated in Japan where Itaru Sasaki mourned his deceased cousin whom he lost in 2010. He got the idea to buy a telephone box and placed it overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Every day he called his cousin and the words flew with the wind. Hence the name "wind phone".
The wind telephone is the only one in Europe and is used by people who have lost one of their loved ones.
