Let the Danish North and South Sea enchant you and sail with the "Eye of the Wind" from Kopenhagen to Kiel ...
Relax on one of the most famous sailing ships of the world and wallow in past times. Feel free from your every day stress and enjoy the nature.
All in all it is an impressive city with many fascinating sights. Come into the Viking’s world and visit the Viking Museum (Vikingskiphuset). There you will find the best preserved Viking boats in the world. Those ships are from the 9th century and were found in three large chief’s graves where they were used as grave furniture for their last journey. You will also be able to see other grave goods like smaller boats, carriages, tools, bridles, textiles and home appliances.
Are you interested in the history of the polar expedition? Then you should visit the Fram Museum (Polar Ship Museum). The Fram was used for the three most famous polar expeditions by Fridtjof Nansen (1893–1896), Otto Sverdrup (1898–1902) and Roald Amundsen (1910–1912). The Fram was built in 1892 and is being displayed in original well preserved equipment and furnishing. Around the ship there are many interesting exhibitions on polar history as well as a polar historical collection.
The region in the west of the Oslo-Fjord used to be an important center of power to the Vikings. Many findings from the Viking’s time were found here.
In the area where Göteborg is located today there has been a real occupation during the Stone Age in today’s part of the city which is called Sanna. There are even pre-historic stone engravings.
A visit to the city museum pays out as well. Besides to many interesting information about the city’s history you can also see a Viking boat found in 1933 (the original format has not been rebuilt since this is the only boat to have runic inscription on it); all around there are smaller exhibitions about Vikings.
Today Göteborg is the second largest city in Sweden after Stockholm. It is known for its lively and multifaceted café house culture. Lean back and enjoy a good cup of coffee together with one of the legendary Canelbuller (special Swedisch cinnamon roll).
The “Kieler Förde” is a small 17 Kilometers long East Sea bay that opens out into the Kieler bay and that is known for its natural beauty. You will soon see the typical picture of Kiel which means a maritime city with its harbour facilities, the huge ferry boats and enormous gantry cranes. A Regatta in 1882 set the cornerstone for the Kieler Week which takes place every year in June for one week. There about 2000 sailing boats meet to battle each other in various races. The Highlight is the “Windjammerparade”.
Come on board and experience Denmark‘s idyllic scenery.
