... View of the remains of the Danevirke at the Dannevirke Archaeological Park... a brick section of the 12thC curved walls concealed beneath the earth, grass and oak trees... being exposed to the elements, means that it requires constant restoration with more bricks and metal structures to reinforce the wall and prevent mudslides... for a long time, these walls separated the Viking world north from the imperial realm to its south... it is an archaeological and cultural monument of European significance with elements of a historical cultural landscape which have almost disappeared elsewhere... Thanks a lot Agi!【ツ】
The Danevirke stretches for 30 km, from the former Viking trade centre of Hedeby near Schleswig (formerly in Denmark) on the Baltic Sea coast in the east to the extensive marshlands in the west of the peninsula.
It is believed that the earliest forms of a linear walled fortification across the neck of the Jutland Peninsula began sometime prior to 500 AD, in the Nordic Iron Age.
Afterwards it was gradually expanded and built upon, most actively during the Danish Viking Age, around 800 AD and onwards.
Since 2018, the Danevirke Archaeological Border Complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site together with the important Viking trading center Hedeby.
