Dag 4: Sorø naar Roskilde

From Sorø, it continues northeast. There, you encounter the landscape heritage of past glacial periods: the Isefjord and the Roskildefjord. Evidence of over 6000 years of human presence has been found in the area. Later, during the Viking period, Roskilde, the city after which the fjord is named, also remained a strategic settlement. Nowadays, you can follow in the footsteps of the Vikings and take a sailing trip on a replica ship from the port of Roskilde. Roskilde remained a city of prominence in the centuries following the Viking Age. A testament to this is the Roskilde Cathedral, where almost all the kings of Denmark have been buried since the Middle Ages. This evening, you will sleep in the university town of Roskilde.
