- Hey World Creators!
Today we explore the beautiful country of Denmark! In this video we focus on a lot of historical sites and museums near Aarhus and Ribe Denmark. We do also explore a bit of a fun street food spot in Aarhus that you WILL want to stop by for a bite to eat!
The Mosegaard Museum near Aarhus Denmark happened to be hosting a Viking Moot. This was a fun experience, they had ALL kinds of vendors and activities. There were Viking bards and performers as well as mead venders, basket weavers, black smiths, and even some Viking food and beer walk displays.
The Mosegaard Museum was also a fascinating experience! It was a large museum with beautiful and immersive exhibits. It sparked curiosity and encouraged you to learn more and more. I could spend days at this museum. They also had a special exhibit on the Rus Vikings that was equally interesting and expanded your view of the impact the Vikings had.
There is a fun stop in Aarhus called Den Gamle By. It is a themed history park, sort of like Skansen in last weeks video. It is reminiscent of a pioneer village in the US, except much older. It shows what life and homes were like in Denmark during the 1700' up through the 1970's! It was a fun lil spot to wander around and try some traditional danish treats.
The 2nd destination of the video is in Ribe Denmark, a small town know for being not only the first Viking settlement, but one of the oldest remaining settlements in all of Europe. It is a picturesque little medieval town near not far from the Atlantic Ocean. Here we stayed above a café & restaurant in an old timey inn! It was so fun to see. You felt like you were living in a fairytale town. There is history all over the town! The church is hundreds of years old and you can even see the remains of the church from the 1100's! There is some remains of the old Riberhus Castle as well. Not much, but some. You can walk out onto the little island mound that is surrounded by the moat and see a few of the old bricked basements of the castle. There is also a beautiful statue dedicated to the towns Viking forbears .

i really like that you keep your voice down to not disturb others. meny turist dont think about that and are very loud.
It is definitely a balance to not draw attention to yourself but also speak loud enough for the camera to hear (😂). Being courteous & conscious of others is important. 🙏Thanks for watching! 😊
big chunk of my bloodline is danish so I appreciated the denmark museum chapter. feels like my family's forgotten history.
Glad you enjoyed it. The Moesgaard Museum was definitely my favorite part of this trip! So much to learn there. Hope you make it yourself soon.
Thanks for watching! 🙂

Awesome 😎 you have the vibe
Thank you so much for watching! 😁♥️
Looking west from the top of the old castle ruin you can not see the ocean in the far distance. Now try to imagine it during strong winds from the west and the sea water drowning the whole flat area in 6 meters of salt water. This is what happened in Ribe in 1634, and that is why this old town is so preserved. Almost every building was torn down and rebuild. So the old buildings of Ribe was of better quality than in other old towns, and of a similar "quality" and age. The small population in the city and the area meant there was never a need for modernizing and anting people into little hives of concreete dispair.
Oh wow. My quick research did not reveal this. That is a fascinating bit of History. You can tell the town center has been modernized a bit to look pretty, but it feels like taking a time machine into the past. Beautiful city!! Thank you for sharing that. 🙏😃 Hope you enjoyed the video
I love how each place you go to just has a crazy range of cuisine
Food is one of the best reasons to travel! But yes, Europe had a big immigrant or immigrant descendant population which makes for quite a taste range of food. Like, Indian food is actually quite good in Berlin for example.
Awesome video! Brought back lots of mission memories.
Glad I did it justice! Ha
Did you ever make it to Aarhus? 😂
@@ChrisCreatesTheWorld I never served there but did visit quite a few times for conferences/splits. Cool city for sure!
"Den gamle by" (the old city) is not only buildings from Aarhus, but all over Denmark. Medieval houses has been demolished and rebuilt in the open air museum.
This is true! I do remember reading that. I apologize for the misrepresentation. It was a fun stop to travel back in time!
It's a shame you didn't have time to visit Hex! The witch hunts were a huge part of Ribe's history and the old town is full of magic sigils carved by the locals in times past, there's even some in the church. If you ever come by Ribe again I can definetly recommend it! They even hand out little audio devices that can scan the items in the museum and tell you about them in Danish or English.
That sounds fascinating! I was really bummed we missed the chance. Sounds like I should make returning a priority.
I love history like that.
Thank you for sharing and watching :)
Ribe Slotsbanke was where my wife and I first kissed.
Not a bad spot! Hope this brought back fond memories.
Never been to another country how long did it take to get to that location from the airport? have some one drive you?
That is a good question. I actually flew to Paris and travelled around Europe by train. But Google maps told me Ribe & Aarhus are both bout a 3 hour drive from Copenhagen Airport or a 3-5 train ride (Aarhus was 3, Ribe was 5). Trains are a very good way of getting around Europe!
@@ChrisCreatesTheWorld Wow , hope to visit there one day. Have a good one!
