Ribe

We left Christiansfeld for a town called Ribe (prounouced like Reba, the country singer). Here is a beautiful church with a statue of the minister Brorson who was very influential back in his day.
That is a stork's nest on top of the building. As the tale goes, once a year a stork comes to the town and perches up there. The first person to see the stork will be blessed with good fertility. (The stork is not due any time soon, but we kept our heads down just in case!)
This is one of the best kept old towns in the country. It has been well preserved throughout the years and is quaint and really cute. It reminded us of the little streets in Annapolis.
