frederikssund

Frederik is a fairly important name for Danish royals so as well as there being Frederiksborg Palace, Frederiksberg the municipality of Copenhagen where I live, and probably many others that I haven't come across yet, there is also Frederikssund. This is the destination we chose for the free train trip on the first Sunday of April (also my birthday for those playing at home.)
Also a quick bit of trivia: 'borg' means castle/palace, 'berg' or really 'bjerg' means mountain and apparently 'sund' means healthy. King Frederik the Healthy named Frederikssund? Hmm

Aaanyway, it was a small little town on the edge of the Roskilde Fjord with a strong Viking history. There wasn't much happening though because the main Viking 'games' and entertainments don't start until summer. So we mainly just had a casual stroll around the empty Viking village and checked out the fjord. And quite impressive it was too, especially because it wasn't a particularly nice day so there was a bit of fog across the water giving everything a nice eerie atmosphere.
