Jelling, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Denmark, is a 10th-century royal site featuring massive runestones, a church, and burial mounds from the Viking Age. Known as the "birth certificate of Denmark," its carved stones mark the transition to Christianity. This historic site offers a key glimpse into Scandinavian heritage and early statehood.
