Halden, Norway - City Tour & Drone, 4k

The city of Halden is nestled among the hills on the banks of the fjord. In the past, Halden had an important defensive function. The old fortress Fredriksten (Fredriksten festning) rises above the city. The city is very popular with tourists. Especially in the summer, when there are various festivals and concerts. And we walked around Halden in October and it seems to us that at this time of the year, all the cities are especially expressive and bright thanks to the autumn foliage! We started the walk from the Rødsberget hill, a total climb of about 34 meters along comfortable paths. From the top, there is a wonderful view of the city, the fortress, the fjord, and the stadium. Next we visited Rød Manor (Rød Herregård). This estate is over 300 years old and there is a cozy park and gardens next to it. We will definitely come back here in the summer when the roses are in bloom. And of course, now it was time to enjoy the city center and we started our walk from the harbor. Walking here is a pleasure, the fresh sea breeze carries delicious smells from restaurants. And colorful shops attract the eye. The city has an elegant pedestrian bridge, it was opened for the new year in 2000, as a gift to the townspeople. We walked along it, crossing the Tista River when we walked to the central park along the pedestrian street Storgata. Busterudparken was built over a hundred years ago. In the Park, there is an openwork gazebo in which Christmas songs are sung. And a skating rink is being poured nearby. On the corner of the park is the Church of St. Peter (St. Peter Kirke). It was built in 1877 in the Neo-Gothic style of unpolished red brick. Walking around the city you think about its history. Swedish forces tried unsuccessfully to invade the city six times, but Halden was never captured by force by any invading army. Although it was occupied by the Nazis during World War II. By the way, an interesting fact is that Halden is the only city mentioned in the national anthem of Norway. Well, now is the time to climb the hill to the Frederiksten fortress, which you have already seen in the frame many times during the walk. The beginning of construction of the fortress dates back to the middle of the 17th century - during the wars between Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. For a long time, it served as a defensive structure, as it is located on the border with Sweden. By the way, it is in the middle of Iddefjord (Iddefjorden) that the border between Sweden and Norway passes. And during the siege of the Frederiksten fortress in 1718, the Swedish king Charles XII was killed. Well, since we are talking about the border, it's time to show you the old and new Svinesund bridges (Svinesundsbroene). This is one of the most picturesque borders of Norway with Sweden across the fjord. We love walking here. In this video, we invite you to spend a day with us in Halden and walk around the city. And finally, enjoy the bright colors of the sunset on the mighty walls of the fortress! We really hope you enjoy the video! We tried our best!
