Here's one place to help you get started on your journey to Denmark..

Denmark is full of history.. one of the things I loved about living there and love about living in Sweden.. it's rich rich history.

Here's something some of you may think is cool.. an ancient rune stone.. The rune stones in Jelling are among the oldest in existence..and date back to the time of some of Denmark's oldest kings Gorm and Harold the Bluetooth.

Jelling is a really cool place to explore if you like history and vikings.



Here's a link to some info on Jelling.. and Vikings too!

hi lagirl. so, is jelling your favorite? i didn't go there. went to copenhagen, arhus, odense, ribe, and legoland. which part of denmark is jelling in? wish i'd known about it before.

Here's a map of Jutland:



If you look north of Kolding.. you'll see a town called Vejle.. just northwest of there is Jelling. (If you look west you'll see Ribe..another place full of history.

The history is probably my favorite thing about living in Scandinavia.

No, Jelling isn't my favorite.. My favorite thing about Denmark, besides my husband's family are the churches.. hmm.. well.. maybe the pastries.. I just LOVE those. *grins*

My favorite place in Denmark is the tiny town of Maribo, on Lolland, where my husband and I lived and married.

oh, okay! i know where vejle is! had to take the train there and transfer to a bus to billund...legoland. ribe was a great town. i would love to go there again. i loved the medieval houses, the churches, the streams flowing all throughout the town.

So much to see so much to do!

You could live your whole life in Scandinavia and never run out of places to explore!
