Goose Tower

Hello, today I was in Vordingborg to see the Goose Tower. The Goose Tower is a historical sight, and also very old. It is 33 meters high. 
Goose Tower


It is a part of a castle built by Valdemar the Great. But the Goose Tower was built by Valdemar the Victorious in 1336. It has a golden goose on top of it. Valdemar the Victorious said that 77 geese or 77 chickens will not scare him. He said this to make fun of Hanseatic league. The Goose Tower is the only part left from the castle.



I really liked the view from the top and the Tower. Here you can see a bridge to a nearby island, the ruins of the old castle and the harbor.


WARNING! You have to walk up alot of stairs with high steep steps.

While in Vordingborg, you can see Vordingborg harbor and buy ice-cream. There is also a very nice beach in Vordingborg called Ore Strand. 

It was very exciting and fun.
