    Hiking

    The equestrian statue of King Christian X in Aarhus is located on the Bishop's Square (Bispetorvet) in front of the cathedral and the theatre.
    The artwork was created by the sculptor Helen Schou and unveiled in 1955. Helen Schou (1905–2006) worked on the statue for twelve years (from 1944). Christian X was King of Denmark from 1912 to 1947 and a symbol of resistance: during the German occupation (1940–1945), he rode daily
    without a bodyguard through Copenhagen, which made him a national symbol
    of bravery. Really first-class!
