Dinamarca - Ribe
***
ENGLISH
Ribe (Danish pronunciation: [ˈʁiːbə]; German: Ripen) is a Danish town in south-west Jutland.
Ribe is the oldest extant town in Denmark, established in the early eighth century in the Germanic Iron Age. Established in the first decade of the eighth century and first attested in a document dated 854; Ribe is the oldest extant town in Denmark (and in Scandinavia).
When Ansgar the Archbishop of Hamburg-Bremen, set out on the "Mission to bring Christianity to the North", he made a request in about 860, to King Horik II of Denmark, that the first Scandinavian church be built in Ribe. This was not coincidental, since Ribe already at that point was one of the most important trade cities in Scandinavia. However the presence of a bishop, and thus a cathedral, in Ribe can only be confirmed from the year 948. Recent archaeological excavations in Ribe have however led to the discovery of between 2,000 and 3,000 Christian graves. They have been dated to the ninth century indicating that a large Christian community was already living peacefully together with the Vikings at the time. Excavations conducted between 2008 and 2012 have also revealed more details of the original church built by Ansgar.
The town has many well-preserved old buildings, Ribe Cathedral, and about 110 houses are under Heritage Protection. Denmark's oldest town hall is found on the town's Von Støckens Plads. The building was erected in 1496, and was purchased by the city for use as a town hall in 1709.

Ribe ( pronunciación danés: [ʁiːbə] ; alemán : Ripen ) es una ciudad danesa en el sudoeste de Jutlandia.
Ribe es la ciudad más antigua existente en Dinamarca, establecida a principios del siglo VIII en la Edad de Hierro germánica. Establecido en la primera década del siglo VIII y atestiguado por primera vez en un documento fechado en 854; Ribe es la ciudad más antigua existente en Dinamarca (y en Escandinavia).
Cuando Ansgar, el arzobispo de Hamburgo-Bremen , se embarcó en la "Misión para llevar el cristianismo al norte ", solicitó alrededor del año 860 al rey Horik II de Dinamarca que se construyera la primera iglesia escandinava en Ribe. Esto no fue una coincidencia, ya que Ribe ya en ese momento era una de las ciudades comerciales más importantes de Escandinavia. Sin embargo, la presencia de un obispo, y por lo tanto una catedral, en Ribe solo puede confirmarse desde el año 948. Sin embargo, recientes excavaciones arqueológicas en Ribe han llevado al descubrimiento de entre 2.000 y 3.000 tumbas cristianas. Se han fechado en el siglo IX, lo que indica que una gran comunidad cristiana ya vivía pacíficamente junto con los vikingos en ese momento. Las excavaciones realizadas entre 2008 y 2012 también revelaron más detalles de la iglesia original construida por Ansgar.
La ciudad tiene muchos edificios antiguos bien conservados, la Catedral de Ribe , y alrededor de 110 casas están bajo Protección del Patrimonio. El ayuntamiento más antiguo de Dinamarca se encuentra en la ciudad de Von Støckens Plads. El edificio fue erigido en 1496 y fue comprado por la ciudad para ser utilizado como ayuntamiento en 1709.

Dinamarca - Jelling
***
***
Jelling is located in Vejle municipality and Region of Southern Denmark. The town is mainly famous for the Jelling stones, national monuments. Until the Municipal Reform of 2007 on 1 January 2007, Jelling was the capital of Jelling municipality. Jelling was also the only town in the former Vejle County headquarters for a bank – Jelling Sparekasse, which had its headquarters in the town until 2007 when it merged with Den Jyske Sparekasse, headquartered in Grindsted. Jelling Sparekasse's slogan was: "If king Gorm was alive today ... we would probably be the country's National Bank." One source at least claims that Jelling was the capital of an ancient kingdom of Denmark that was known as Jellund.
Jelling is an old and important historical town in the history of Denmark. In the Viking Age it served as the royal seat of the first Monarchs of the Kingdom of Denmark. Jelling is the site of a large stone ship and two large burial mounds, the Jelling stones and Jelling Church which are an UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994. In the North Mound, built between 958 and 959 CE (possibly for King Gorm of Denmark), an empty burial chamber was found. The South Mound was built around 970 and contains no burial. Beneath the two mounds is a large stone ship from around the end of the 9th century. Between the two mounds stands two rune stones, the Jelling stones. Near the stones, Gorm's son King Harald Bluetooth built a wooden church (965), and beneath it reinterred (965–966) the remains of his father.

ESPAÑOL:
Jelling es una aldea situada en la municipalidad de Vejle, Dinamarca, en la península de Jutlandia. En un principio la capital vikinga de Dinamarca, hoy es una pequeña aldea.
En Jelling se encuentra el túmulo del rey Gorm de Dinamarca y su esposa Thyra, padres del rey Harald I, quien además erigió un monasterio cristiano en el mismo emplazamiento, y que forma parte del conjunto declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por Unesco.1
Harald también erigió las Piedras de Jelling, en las que figuraba la siguiente inscripción: “El Rey Harald ordenó construir este monumento en honor a Gorm, su padre, y a Thyra, su madre; el mismo Harald que para sí conquistó toda Dinamarca y Noruega, y a los daneses hizo cristianos.”
Esta declaración es conocida como el Bautismo de Dinamarca. Las Piedras de Jelling son consideradas las inscripciones rúnicas en piedra más famosas de Dinamarca.

Breakfast in the blue-hour by the sea ;-)
Møns Klint are a 6 km stretch of chalk cliffs along the eastern coast of the Danish island of Møn in the Baltic Sea. Some of the cliffs fall a sheer 120 m to the sea below. The area around Møns Klint consists of woodlands, pastures, ponds and steep hills, including Aborrebjerg which, with a height of 143 m, is one of the highest points in Denmark. The cliffs and adjacent park are now protected as a nature reserve. Møns Klint receives around 250,000 visitors a year. There are clearly marked paths for walkers, riders and cyclists. The path along the cliff tops leads to steps down to the shore in several locations.

Your house is on fire and your children are gone,
All except one and that's little Ann,
For she crept under the frying pan.
