 park, garden, panoramic view, interesting place, green area

Danish King's Garden is just next to Toompea.
According to and old legend the Danes got their national flag from Tallinn. Allegedly this flag was given to them straight from heaven when they were losing the battle on 15th of July in 1219 and the battle course turned in favour of the Danes. Their victory brought along the reign of Danish King in Tallinn and Northern Estonia, that lasted over one hundred years.

This open, garden-like area on the slopes of Toompea Hill happens to be the legendary birthplace of the Danish flag. Nestled between the city wall and Lower Town, this relaxing spot is called the Danish King's Garden because it was supposedly here that King Valdemar II of Denmark and his troops camped before conquering Toompea in 1219. More importantly, a well-known legend both in Estonia and Denmark holds that the Danish flag, the Dannebrog, originated right here. According to the story, Valdemar's forces were losing their battle with the Estonians when suddenly the skies opened and a red flag with a white cross floated down from the heavens. Taking this as a holy sign, the Danes were spurred on to victory. Today the garden remains a place where locals honour the role Denmark played in Estonia's history. Halfway down the steps towards Rüütli street you can see an iron sword and shield with a Danish cross, and each summer, Danneborg Day is celebrated here.
