After breakfast, depart Copenhagen by coach for visits to two important Viking sites, located on Sealand (Denmark’s main island, also where Copenhagen is located). Located on a beautiful hill, the Land of Legends has remade the largest King’s Hall that we know of from the Viking Age in Denmark. The original archaeological finds that the King’s Hall build on are to be found less than 3 kilometers from the Land of Legends, on a field in the village of Gammel Lejre. Here, archaeologists have been busy excavating the traces of an impressive building, which spreads through the Iron Age and into the Viking Age. After this visit, we continue to Trelleborg, an old Viking city. The impressive remains of one of the Vikings’ great ring fortresses, originally constructed around AD 980 by King Harald Bluetooth, are located in the beautiful area of Tude Ådal. The museum at Trelleborg includes models, archaeological finds, and reconstructions that give a vivid impression of Trelleborg’s history, its inhabitants, and the function of the fortress.
Onward by ferry, crossing the strait known as the Kattegat, which divides Denmark’s main peninsula of Jutland from the other main islands. Arrival into Aarhus, the country’s second largest city and the main town on Jutland. Overnight at Aarhus hotel
