THE JELLINGE MONUMENTS
The Jellinge Monuments are part of Denmark's national world heritage. Every Dane should at least once in their life take a trip to Jelling and see the historic Jellinge Stones. The Jellinge Monuments are considered some of the most distinguished in all of Europe from the Viking Age. They are Denmark's Baptismal Certificate and their history is the reason why the monuments and the surrounding area have come to be UNESCO World Heritage Site list together with only 6 other places in Denmark.
The Jelling of the Kings
Also visit the experience center The Jelling of the Kings. The center is part of the National Museum of Denmark. At the experience center you can learn more about the Viking kings Gorm and Harald, their runestones, the great shipwreck and the gigantic palisade that was erected more than 1000 years ago. In 2019 you can experience a special exhibition about Danefæ, Treasure or Scrap. The Kings' Jelling is located right next to the Jellinge Monuments.

We recommend
The Egtved Girl's Grave – One of Europe's finest Bronze Age finds was made in Egtved outside Vejle. Here, a young Bronze Age girl was found laid to rest in a burial mound. A new experience center is on the way here.
