Denmark's dramatic occupation during WWII enthralls history buffs on this half-day guided excursion that follows these 'five dark years' of history. The tour also delves into the direct link between WWII and the Cold War. Board a comfortable motorcoach and enjoy a scenic, 50-minute drive to the Bangsbo Fort, which was set up by the Germans during World War II to defend the port of Frederikshavn. Follow in the footsteps of German soldiers as you actually step inside the bunkers where they lived. Later, the Bangsbo Fort was further developed by the Danish Navy during the Cold War as detailed in the adjacent museum. Continue on to the Jutland Resistance Museum, located in the barn of a manor home. Trace the unique story of the Danish Resistance Movement, through artifacts and displays. After this tour for the history books, and relax on the return drive.
