General Tips: Helsingor - Kronborg
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: The name "Helsingor" is known to each cultural person. There is a castle of "Danish prince" Hamlet .

    The true name of the castle - Kronborg ("Fist"). It is not the most magnificent castle in Denmark, but it is considered one of the best samples of the Renaissance.

    It was under construction as a powerful fortress on border with Sweden. The garrison of a fortress was obliged to raise so-called "Danish tax" from all ships which were passed on the Oresund passage.

    General Tips: Oresund strait

  • Favorite Thing: The city of Helsingor stands in the bottleneck of the Oresund strait. Only 4 kilometers of water separate Denmark from Sweden.

    Oresund always was famous for an abundance of fish, and, according to medieval eyewitnesses, there was so many fish that sometimes it prevented vessels to pass the strait. But for not clear reasons fish began to leave to the north.

    It was an accident for Denmark because its treasury kept on fishing in medieval times.

    General Tips: Denmark - National flag

  • Favorite Thing: Many years ago Danes possessed the territory far reached for present borders of the kingdom. But today distant descendants of Vikings are hardly excited with imperial romanticism or appeals like "returning of the primordial grounds".

    They have done fighting in the past in plenty, grasping another's grounds and losing their own. Eventually Danes have acquired the main lesson: it is better to live peacefully, being full up and quiet on the small native land, than to multiply problems and to shed blood, infinitely expanding borders.

     Next time I go to Denmark I hope to visit Helsingor and then take the Helsingor-Helsingborg ferry to Sweden.

     I enjoyed reading about your trip to Helsingor, and I especially like the architecture there. (BTW, the birds in your picture are not ducks, but are called Eurasian coots).
