After reading many reviews in this community, we felt less interest to visit and really had no expectation from Jelling Site but to be able to complete all World Heritage Site of Denmark, the visit is mandatory to do. After happily spend time shopping in Royal Copenhagen’s porcelain outlet in nearby Vejle, we drove to Jelling with really confusing weather, sunshine but heavy showering rain. Maybe because of this strange downpour even in Saturday’s afternoon, there were just only two cars in the car park. We waited inside the car until the rain stopped when we came out the newly wed bride and groom hurriedly walked pass us to those parked cars, we felt sad to see wet and dirty wedding gown of the bride but happy to see their great smile.

When we saw the famous runic stone, its size was quite surprising, much bigger than we anticipated, but what we really surprised was how clear of the glass box. Despite showering rain, there was almost no raindrop on the glass, really impressive water repelling coating, and there was no reflection even with strange sunshine and all those wet floor that normally should cause bad shiny reflection, again thumb up for high quality of glass coating. We could look details of runic stones more than initial expected. Apart from these, our experience was quite similar to other reviews. We spent only short time at Jelling less than half an hour just tried to see details of runic stones as much as possible with quick glance inside the church’s interior that still in wedding decoration. Since the rain started to be a bit too torrent again, we did not care to go to the burial hills in such wet condition and decided to go somewhere else to find something to eat to warm us. The overall experience was a bit mediocre but after we saw other nearby World Heritage Site, our view on the experience on Jelling was actually much better and more interesting than other sites.
