Ribe, the oldest town in Denmark - Private tour

From my childhood I remember having been in Ribe with my parents, having walked the steps up the 50 m high tower, watching out over the plain in the marsh-land. Standing there with a 360 degrees look around you, one can imagine the vikings coming in the river to the trading post established in the early 700'ds. Over the last years numerous guests have had the same experience, getting stunned over this small, but historically great town. Ribe is founded in 710 and is the oldest town in Denmark with reminiscences from the viking age; the middle ages through the marvelous Romanesque cathedral, the renaissance with many houses from the 1500 and onwards. You will hear stories about the Bohemian princess arriving here in early 1200 to become the queen of Denmark, about the last witch hunt in Denmark, about merchants in town and the importance of the harbour and the sluices and much more.
