Now a World Heritage Site, this historic setting is a great place for a walk or picnic. Start at the Jelling burial mounds, which are important to pagan culture. Continue on to the runic stones, which are also pagan but represent the shift to Christianity. End your tour at the simple white church, which stands where the first church in Jelling was.

  • It is worth taking a morning of relaxation and fun. The Museum is very entertaining and interactive, as well as free. Very interesting with the runes authentic Church. The best, for me, the representation of a Viking Village that make, with plenty of stalls and cabins, crafts, many people dressed to the Viking, mock fights, archery, chefs... Highly recommended.

  • Jelling stones and the cemetery was a nice sight, I broke my not to the Church was totally revamped. Standing on one of the burial mounds always gives a historical presence of history

  • The Church and the stones themselves are not a big deal, but to be honest I loved complex. Advice before entering into the Museum to better understand, since it's also free
