Geocache Description:






Borgen i Vordingborg blev bygget i middelalderen og var en af de største borge i Danmark. Gåsetårnet blev bygget under Valdemar Atterdag i midten af 1360'erne. Tårnet krones af en gylden gås. Valdemar Atterdag satte en gylden gås på tårnets top, der til evig tid skulle skrige sin hån ud over Hansestæderne. Den nuværende gås er fra 1871. http://www.aabne-samlinger.dk/english/sydsjaellands/index.htm
Stedet er et af vore barndomssteder og absolut et besøg værd, både for den historiske værdi og for naturen og udsigten fra tårnet.

The castle ruins in Vordingborg is of medieval origin and was one of the largest in Denmark. The Goose Tower was built by Valdemar Atterdag in the middle of the 1360’ies. The tower is crowned by a golden goose. Valdemar Atterdag put the golden goose there in order to forever scorn the Hanseatic cities. The present goose was put up in 1871. http://www.aabne-samlinger.dk/english/sydsjaellands/index.htm
The place is one of the sites of our childhoods and deserves a visit, both for the historical value and for the nature and the view from the tower.
