Danish King's Garden in Tallinn is a small stone platform, which dominates the lower town. On one side of the garden is closed city wall and on the other - a wonderful view over the red roofs of the old town. From the Upper Town to the Danish King's Garden is a passage from the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, and from the downtown here is a staircase from the street Rüütli and Lühike jalg.

The name of the garden derives from the legend that on this place the Danes got their national flag. In 1219 troops of the Danish King Waldemar II and the blessing of the Pope, and under the pretext of helping the German colonists landed in the Baltic States and capturing mound, settled near Toompea Hill. Estonian troops suddenly attacked the Danish army. The attack was so sudden that the part of the Danes was forced to retreat. Then, according to tradition, the bishops went up the hill and began to ask for help from God. Suddenly the heavens opened, and dropped from a height of a huge red fabric with a smooth white cross - Dannebrog - the image of the present day is the national flag of Denmark. This was taken as a sign of God, the Danes took heart and managed to win the Gentiles.

Day of Victory in this battle, called the Battle of Valdemar, became celebrated as the birthday of the national flag of Denmark - Dannebrog. And today, every summer this festival, which enjoys much success with tourists from Denmark, celebrated in the garden of the Danish king. According to legend, the Iron Knight, established in the garden, indicates the place of occurrence of the flag, descended from heaven.
