Once upon a time, there was a Viking king. He prayed to Thor, Odin and Freya, and ruled over a land that did not have an official name in the year 950.<\/p>\n

Being imaginative as well as influential, he commissioned a stone \u200cto celebrate his centre of power in Jelling. It was inscribed in runes, translating to \u201cKing Gorm made these runes in honour of his wife Thyra, the pride of Denmark\u201d.<\/p>\n

With this sentence on the Great Jelling Stone, he not only gave his deceased queen eternal proof of his love but also proclaimed a nation.<\/p>\n

A trip from Jutland via Funen to Zealand with five stops shows this small country\u2019s Viking heritage.<\/p>\n

The stone in Jelling is now part of an interactive museum and is on the Unesco World Heritage list.<\/p>\n
