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.

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 - Roskilde - Catedral

www.visitroskilde.com/ln-int/roskilde-cathedral-world-her...
Roskilde Cathedral (Danish: Roskilde Domkirke), in the city of Roskilde on the island of Zealand (Sjælland) in eastern Denmark, is a cathedral of the Lutheran Church of Denmark. The first Gothic cathedral to be built of brick, it encouraged the spread of the Brick Gothic style throughout Northern Europe. Constructed during the 12th and 13th centuries, the cathedral incorporates both Gothic and Romanesque architectural features in its design. Until the 20th century, it was Zealand's only cathedral. Its twin spires dominate the skyline of the town.
The cathedral has been the main burial site for Danish monarchs since the 15th century. As such, it has been significantly extended and altered over the centuries to accommodate a considerable number of burial chapels. Following the Danish Reformation in 1536, the bishop's residence was moved to Copenhagen while the title was changed to Bishop of Zealand. Coronations normally took place in Copenhagen's Church of Our Lady or in the chapel of Frederiksborg Palace.
The cathedral is a major tourist attraction, bringing in over 125,000 visitors annually. Since 1995, it has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A working church, it also hosts concerts throughout the year.

La catedral de Roskilde es una de las atracciones principales de la ciudad de Roskilde, en Dinamarca. Era la iglesia principal de la antigua diócesis de Roskilde antes de la aparición del luteranismo.
Esta catedral, de estilo gótico, se construyó en la Edad Media entre el siglo XII y el siglo XIII. Enteramente construida en ladrillo rojo, fue la causa de la propagación de este estilo en el Norte de Europa.
Aquí tienen sepultura la mayoría de los reyes y reinas de Dinamarca, y fue por esto adaptada a los gustos de los distintos tiempos hasta el siglo XX, mediante ampliaciones laterales menores: porches y capillas. Eso hace de esta catedral un friso cronológico de la evolución de la arquitectura de los edificios cristianos en la Europa del Norte.
A partir de 1413, los monarcas daneses se enterraron en esta catedral. En total, hay 20 reyes y 17 reinas, en cuatro diferentes capillas, en el corazón de la catedral, o también en tumbas exteriores.
La catedral de Roskilde fue declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1995.
Ladybird ladybird fly away home,
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.

Blåvand [ˈblɔvanʔ] ist ein dänisches Nordseebad in der Kommune Varde. Der Ort zählt weniger als 200 Einwohner, aber mehr als 2.000 Ferienhäuser.
Die Landspitze Blåvands Huk bildet den westlichsten Punkt Jütlands. Hier steht der Leuchtturm Blåvandshuk Fyr. Er erhebt sich 39 m über die umliegenden Dünen und ist ein vielbesuchter Aussichtspunkt. Die Fernsicht reicht bis Vejers Strand im Norden und Esbjerg im Süden. Er wurde 1900 errichtet und in den letzten Jahren restauriert.
Das Feriengebiet um Blåvand bietet Sandstrände von 40 km Länge. Geschützt durch die großen Sandbänke des Horns Rev, das bis zu 20 km in die Nordsee reicht, eignet sich der Hvidbjerg Strand gut zum Baden und Windsurfen. Hier wurde 2015 der erste Badesteg an der dänischen Westküste errichtet.
Nördlich schließt sich das Militär- und Naturschutzgebiet Kallesmærsk Hede an, das von vielen Zugvögeln zur Rast aufgesucht wird.

From Wikipedia : "Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot) is a palatial complex in Hillerød, Denmark. It was built as a royal residence for King Christian IV of Denmark-Norway in the early 17th century, replacing an older castle acquired by Frederick II and becoming the largest Renaissance residence in Scandinavia. Situated on three islets in the Slotssøen (castle lake), it is adjoined by a large formal garden in the Baroque style.
After a serious fire in 1859, the castle was rebuilt on the basis of old plans and paintings. Thanks to public support and the brewer J. C. Jacobsen, the building and its apartments were fully restored by 1882 when it was reopened to the public as the Danish Museum of National History. Open throughout the year, the museum contains the largest collection of portrait paintings in Denmark. It also provides visitors with an opportunity to visit several of the castle's state rooms including the restored Valdemar Room and Great Hall as well as the Chapel and the Audience Chamber which were both largely spared by the fire and contain sumptuous decorations."
