The Jelling Monuments are probably the most spectacular historic monuments in Denmark, but there are other significant monuments in Vejle River Valley and Fjord such as Hærvejen and the many bronze age-burial mounds, that are scattered all over the creek valley.

The Jelling Monuments (UNESCO)
In the tenth century, King Harald Bluetooth had Denmark's name engraved on a runestone in Jelling and erected two large mounds. The Jelling monuments have been on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1994.
