 The hike continues: Entrance to Ravnsborg Today Ravnsborg
is an impressive large ravine on Lolland's north
coast towards the Småland Sea. In the early 1330s,
Count Johan den Milde, also called Johan of Plön or
Johan of Holsten, built Ravnsborg castle on this
hill which rises 18 meters above sea level. It was
formerly an island, so to get to the castle one had
to cross a 200-meter-long pile bridge. The castle -
over 100 meters long and 50 meters wide - was
surrounded by a brick wall. In 1347, Ravnsborg
became a royal fortress, and it was the seat of the
sheriff, but in 1510 he moved to Engelsborg on Slotø
in Nakskov Fjord, and then the decay began. The
municipality of Ravnsborg is named after the
castle. Tekst from: http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravnsborg
