Hiking

The story of the victorious conquest of England by William (Duke of Normandy) in 1066 (where he became king) is recorded in a very expressive depiction on a richly illustrated carpet. This "Tapisserie de Bayeux" - which has been preserved to this day and is even a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its importance - is on display in a museum there and can be found here as a komoot hiking highlight:
