Very unusual place

The area around the tunnel is adapted for pedestrians, several hiking routes pass through it, and there are also benches from which you can admire the passing trains.

Bezvadné pro sobotní či nedělní patranicko

Šli jsme s Jimmýkem pro kešku, zastavili jsme se a koukali jak jezdí vlaky tunely, hezká podívaná a nebyli jsme tam sami, na vyhlídku tam chodí dost lidí.

Doufám, že brzy bude příležitost svézt se vlakem tímto směrem a pokochat se tunelem nejen zvenčí

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
