Billund is a small town on the Jutland peninsula, known primarily for the fact that Ole Christiansen was born here - the man who invented Lego, and here, in 1932, a company was founded that produced this most famous designer in the world. Today, the Lego production plant is still working, so one of Denmark 's most famous "children's" attractions is in Billund - Legoland .
Where is it worth to visit with a child?
In Billund there are still a few places, a visit which will give a lot of pleasure to the child. This water park "Lalandia" , located next to Legoland, and the safari park "Givskud . " The water park, one of the twin parks (the second one is located in the south of the country), is one of the largest not only in Denmark , but throughout Northern Europe.
"Givskud" is not in the city itself, but in 35 kilometers from it. Here rhinoceroses, lions and tigers, monkeys and giraffes freely walk through the territory. A safari park can be visited on your own car (accompanied by a park employee) or on a "park" bus or train.
Other attractions
Despite the modest size of the city, in Billund there are a lot of attractions, which, besides, are located near the hotels . For example, here you can visit the museum of honey-making and brewing, an old church. Sculpture Park, located along a small river, is popular. The park is very picturesque, and the sculptures are incomprehensible, and many visitors try to guess what they mean.
Tourists are happy to visit Karensminde Farm Museum, where you can see how agricultural work was done in a Danish village in the 18-19th centuries, participate in harvesting, look at pets and take part in preparing a dinner in a real village oven.
Also not far from Billund is Yelling (also used as the writing of "Jelling") - a small town where the last Danish pagan king Gorm and his wife are buried. Here there are symbols of Christianity and paganism - a stone carved with ancient runes, installed here around 953, is located next to the Christian church.
And, finally, you just have to walk along the streets of the city itself - its small, neat little houses look like scenery for a film-fairy tale, and you will enjoy both the process of shooting them and viewing photos and video at home.
