Step back in time to the 17th century, when Europe was gripped by wars and Jutland endured invasions, destruction, and rebuilding efforts. This self-guided audio tour reveals the fascinating tale of an ambitious fortress city project near Bersodde, strategically located in a swampy yet defensible area.
