The Jelling of the Viking Kings
In the tenth century, at the highest point in the landscape west of Vejle, the kings Gorm the Old and Harold Bluetooth created a monument that is unique in the Nordic context.
The oldest feature is the remains of a huge ship-shaped stone circle - then came the rune stones and the mounds, and finally the church.
