Food and good stories in and around Jelling
The tour focusing on food and the good stories is a guided bus tour starting in Vejle, from where we drive towards Jelling. We can of course start somewhere else according to your choice.
We visit a traditional old grocery store which is now also a museum. If you are into nostalgia, be sure to make a few purchases at the counter. It's hard not to.
We carry on to the beautiful Nørup Church, an old medieval church restored to its present day's unique look with a Russian style onion dome, which is very unusual for a Danish church.
From Nørup church we go to the UNESCO World Heritage site at Jelling. See the large runic stone where king Harald Bluetooth in the year 965 claimed that he made the Danes Christian. The runic stone is said to hold the birth certificate of Denmark as a nation.
We end our morning with a delicious Viking lunch in one of Jelling's nice cafes, known for its locally produced, high quality food and drink. We might be able to listen a story by the proprietor while having lunch.
After lunch you will have time to enjoy the historic experience centre Kongernes Jelling, Royal Jelling, before we head back to Vejle.
