Best Hikes to The Myth (Myten) – Bronze Sculpture of King Christian II.

Tips

  • 🗿 The legend made of bronze.A few steps from Sønderborg Castle, my gaze is drawn to a figure that seems as if it had just stepped out of a dream: "Myten" – a bronze sculpture that 🕰️ tells stories without a single word.It depicts King 👑 Christian II, trapped in his own head, circling a round table. It is said that he was imprisoned in the castle for 17 years – and made his rounds day after day. So often that a groove was carved into the tabletop.Was that really the case? 🤔 No one knows.But here, by the water 🌊, with the wind in his hair 💨 and the castle at his back, it feels almost real.And as the seagulls screech above me 🐦, I'm not sure if they're telling me to believe the story – or if they're just plotting to steal the fish sandwich 🐟🥖 from my hand.I smile 😊 – and go along with it.
    One brief moment... and I'm part of this old story 📜
