Après un arrêt pour la nuit sur le parking de ce magnifique site, nous décidons de le visiter au petit matin.
C’est comme ça que l’on découvre une ancienne forteresse viking.
Malheureusement le site est fermé donc nous ne pouvons pas visiter l’intérieur. Mais nous avons quand même la chance de pouvoir admirer l’extérieur.
La luminosité matinale donnait à cet espace un air magique.
Nous n’étions que Donovan, Alana et nous deux, car le reste de la famille Malizia dorment à l’hôtel.Read more

Day 19
Århus and Fyrkat Viking Museum
May 18 in Denmark ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
We arrived in Århus this morning and took a tour to the Fyrkat Viking Museum, which depicts life in Denmark under the reign of King Harald Bluetooth around 980 AD. Because Bluetooth is known for uniting the disparate Danish tribes into a single kingdom, the name was given to the technology protocol to imply that it similarly united communication.

The Fyrkat ring fortress is one of five fortresses constructed during Bluetooth's rule. The earthen ramparts would have been the foundation for wooden fortifications that guarded the fortress. 16 longhouses were situated inside the ring. They housed Viking soldiers stationed here to protect a key trade route. The Viking farmstead was a living museum that showed what everyday life would have been like for vikings at that time.

On the way back to Århus, we stopped at Råsted Church. The church was built between 1125-1150, just after the end of the Viking age and the conversion of Denmark to Christianity.

Tonight was the Orange party celebrating Holland America Line's Dutch heritage!Read more

Beeindruckend wenn man sieht unter welchen genauen Plänen das errichtet wurde. Meine kleine Kriegerin passt da voll rein oder? 😃 Schild und Axt hält sie gut.
