Fighting Hamlet at Kronborg castle in Helsingør

Pin It

Kronborg castle was the setting for yet another mission on my Denmark Challenge.

Carina from Travel Run Play and I had to find 2 legendary figures in the castle: Holger the Great Dane aka the protector of Denmark and Hamlet, the brain child of Shakespeare.

The castle was the inspiration for the castle in Shakespeare's world famous work. That's also why people refer to it as the Hamlet castle.

We found both Holger and Hamlet and I even got into a little fight with Hamlet himself. That man knows how to fence :-) He was there to perform the Hamlet story all over the castle. A very cool and unique way to perform Shakespeare's master piece if you ask me.

Ah also my future got predicted and truth to be told, it was quite accurate. Very strange.

Find out what happened below... ;-)

Today's mission on the #DenmarkChallenge brought us to the fabulous #Kronborgcastle in #Helsingør. It's here that we would find the great Dane and #Hamlet himself. #DestinationChallenges in #nordsjælland

Once inside I went looking for 'The Great Dane'. I heard he is the protector of Denmark and can be found in the dungeon of the #Kronborgcastle. How cool is that. TO THE DUNGEON ! #DenmarkChallenge in #Helsingør #NorthSealand #DestinationChallenges

Meet Holger, the Great Dane! If #Denmark would be under attack the legend says that he'll wake up and p protect the country. Don't know about you but I wouldn't want to mess with this guy! 😉 #DenmarkChallenge in #Helsingør #DestinationChallenges

The second part of the mission was to get an autograph from the one and only #Hamlet. We found him inside #Kronborgcastle and YES we totally nailed it as you can see. 😉 📷 by @travelrunplay #DenmarkChallenge in #Helsingør #Denmark #DestinationChallenges

The real story goes of course a little bit different. #Hamlet fights Laertes his childhood friend. I think everybody knows how that ends... #DenmarkChallenge in #Kronborgcastle #Helsingør #DestinationChallenges
