You have a nice view from this small mountain. Around it runs a wide moat. There are some hills on the mountain itself. On top of it is a small monument and a few remains of the wall.

Riberhus Castle Wall.
Riberhus Castle was located on the castle rampart in Ribe. Today only ruins remain, as well as a bronze statue of Queen Dagmar, who lived at the castle in the early 13th century. The castle was not the first building on the site. Archaeological excavations show that people lived in the area as early as the 12th century.

Statue of Queen Dagmar (ca. 1186-1212)
In 1205 Princess Drakomira of Bohemia married the Danish king Valdemar Sejr. She became Queen Dagmar of Denmark and was very popular with the people. She died in Ribe in 1212.
