The Cathedral, Viking, and the castle: a perfect Day Trip from Copenhagen

While I love the sensation of the town, there is a point out of the limits of the city. Wandering 30 to 60 minutes from most European cities to give the prize to You with amazing views (Versailles near Paris), the unique settings (Abbey Andechs near Munich), and small towns where you can feel the pulse of the place and its people (Haarlem near Amsterdam).

In Copenhagen, my favorite day trips easy, convenient, and reached three different views of anything you see in the capital of Denmark: a 12th-century cathedral, the impressive collection of Viking ships, and a castle floating above an island [Info Wisata Jogja]. "Blitz Zealand" these days is full of public transport-gives travelers the spotlight of Zealand (shelter Island).

First stop is Roskilde, 30 minutes west of Copenhagen. This exciting city is the seat of the bishops and nobles of Denmark's residence until 1450. At the time, the city is the second largest city in the country. Today is best known for organizing the largest music festival in Northern Europe [tempat wisata di jogja].

Jump-jump on the train at 8 in the morning put me in Roskilde at 8:30 in the morning, and I was allowed in the Cathedral when it opened at 09:00.

The Cathedral of Roskilde was Westminster Abbey in Denmark. The House has 39 Tomb Kings and Queens of Denmark in a modern-looking church with the marble works, painting, wood carving, and the congregation that makes this place feels very much alive — especially in Scandinavia that largely have not toothed.

Completed in 1280, the Cathedral of Roskilde was cleared from the side of the Chapel and altar by iconoclast Reform – leaving a blank slate for the nobility of Denmark to be filled with their Tomb. The Summit is a walk through a thousand Millennium Chapel Royal, representing a variety of architectural styles, from the tomb of Christian IV that was somewhat hard (ironically, one of the King of Denmark's most hard), the grave of the Neoclassical grand Frederik V (with mourning girls with dresses in ancient Greece), to the chapel of the bricks on the outside housing the remains of the last King of Denmark, Frederick IX, an avid sailor who asked buried with harbour views. Each King or Queen commissioned a tomb which is in accordance with the time-very different, yet very pretentious.

The next stop on the blitz is the Viking Ship Museum, a 10-minute walk from the Cathedral. "Vik" literally means "shallow inlet," and "vik-ings" are the people who live along the entrance hole. Roskilde museum-and-located strategically along one of the entrance channel.

Centuries before the time of European Exploration, Viking sailors navigate their ship a sleek and sturdy as far as the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, and the Americas. This museum displays five Viking ships are different, everything is intentionally sunk thousands of years ago to block the channels easily towards the Harbour, and then excavated in modern times. The ships is a series of impressive shipbuilding technologies, ranging from large-powered merchant ships, which powered the ocean sea (as done by Leif Eriksson to America 1,000 years ago), with a length of 100 feet along, 60-oar, to A fishing vessel that was used for whaling and seal hunting.

The Museum also has a replica of a Viking ship bobbing in the Harbor, a fishing boat where the modern artisans recreate a Millennium ships, using original materials and methods, and traditional crafts such as basket makers and wood sculptor, sometimes managed by workers who do demonstrations.

The last stop for the day was the castle of Frederiksborg, which sits like a fairy tale on an island in the middle of the Lake, 50 minutes north of Copenhagen. To get there from Roskilde, I boarded the train at 1 pm return to Copenhagen (buy a picnic lunch near Roskilde and chew on board). Back to Copenhagen, I got on the next train to the city of Hillerød are cute and from there, there is a bus to the castle of Frederiksborg.

The most glorious Castle in Scandinavia, Frederiksborg is often called "Versailles Denmark". Built in the early 1600 's, the Frederiksborg Castle of King Christian IV. From the entrance of the castle complex, this is the right approach to staying in the Palace of the King. I can almost hear the clattering Royal nails in the cobbled streets as I walked above the trenches.

In the Royal Chapel is the grandest in Europe. For 200 years the place of Coronation of the Kings of Denmark, the Chapel is still used for Royal Wedding. The Castle also has a collection of complete but interesting museum that spans three floors. This grouping Museum portrait, paintings, furniture, historical events and objects others, including the first Bibles translated into the language of Denmark and a gold ball illustrating the theory of bold new Copernicus-that the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of our world.

After exploring five centuries of the history of Denmark in the Castle, I am ready to go back to modern times. I boarded the train at 6 pm and back to Copenhagen at dinner, after looking at the spotlight in Copenhagen in a busy day but thrilling.
