Looks like I did my share of Denmark travelling in the first two weeks itself. Well here are the pics from the Helsingor trip. The Kronborg castle was amazing, especially the Danish Ship museum.
The castle was built in 1420 by Danish King Eric, and has been one of the most important Renaissance Castles in Europe. The castle overlooks the sound between Denmark and Sweeden, which at Helsingor is only 4 Km wide, the town of Helsingborg, on the other side in Sweeden, being clearly visible.
The castle is also the setting of Shakespeare's famous Hamlet. It also houses a statue of Oiger or Holger Danske, who according to a legend, will rise up from his slumber to save Denmark if the nation is in grave danger.
The details of the castle and the town of Helsingor can be found at the following links,
