Entrance to Nyhavn - very tourist-y area but not at 7am.

Christian X, (1870-1947) was an extremely popular monarch, especially because he served as a gathering point for the Danes during the Second World War. This monument reminds us of his daily rides through the streets of Copenhagen during the years of nazi occupation.

This Angel stands just north of the Kastellet. She is a war memorial for all mariners who died in World War II

The sides with their reliefs form a platform on which there is a Statue of Memory (angel), fashioned after the famous ancient statue of Nike from Samothrake. On its plinth there are the names of ships that were sunk and of those who died, altogether 648 mariners and 102 Danish merchant vessels.

The Little Mermaid statue was presented to Copenhagen from brewer Carl Jacobsen (The Carlsberg Breweries) in 1913, made by a then little known sculptor called Edvard Erichsen.
It has since become the symbol of Copenhagen.

Very tour-isty area -throngs of folks getting their picture - most disappointed that is so small.

The Ivar Huitfeldt Column is a monument at Langelinie in Copenhagen, Denmark, built to commemorate the death of Admiral Ivar Huitfeldt and his men in a naval battle off Stevns during the Great Northern War. On 4 October 1710, the ship-of-the-line Dannebrog, which Huitfeldt commanded, was set on fire during an encounter with the Swedes. He gave orders to continue the battle, which only came to an end when the ship blew up. Huitfeldt and 497 crew members were killed.

The monument was constructed in 1886

The Gefion fountain featuring animals driven by Norse Goddess Gefjun, Langelinie Park, Copenhagen, Denmark
The fountain depicts the mythical story of the creation of the island of Zealand on which Copenhagen is located.

The powerful goddess Gefion - who according to the story originated from Norse mythology - was offered as much land in Sweden as she was able to plough during one day and one night by the Swedish King Gylfe. To fulfil this task she turned her four sons into strong oxen’s. Gefion and the oxen’s did their job so well that they were able to create Zealand the Island where Copenhagen is situated. This great work left a huge hole in Sweden - where Lake Vänern is placed. On a map you will notice that the outline of Zealand matches the outline of Lake Vänern.
