TILTING-AT-THE-RING 20 Tilting-at-the-Ring Tilting-at-the-ring festivals are a longstanding tradition in Southern Jutland, and every town has its own tournament during summer. Festivities last entire weekends where riders compete during the day and celebrate in the beer tents in the evening. Tilting-at-the-ring has its roots in the Middle Ages when knights fought each other on horseback with lances and entertained European nobility. When this sport came to Denmark, the armoured knights were replaced by a ring hanging in a gallows, making it an event for common people. Today, riders compete for the title of “king,” galloping through the gallows to spear a ring with a lance. Initially, the ring has a diameter of 22 mm and sits in a piece of metal hanging in a couple of threads. Those spearing all 24 rings go on to a special round called ’Kings Round’. Historic Tilting-at-the-Ring at Sønderborg Castle The riders are eliminated one by one as the rings diminish in size until they are only 6 mm wide. The contestant who can handle the greatest number of rounds is pronounced king. Scandinavias largest tilting-festival takes place in Sønderborg with approximately 500 riders in an impressive parade through town to and from the tilting grounds before and after the competitions.
Parade in Sønderborg At a gallop Tilting-at-the-ring festivities feature entertainment for children and adults such as tilting-at-the-ring on a bicycle for children and the famous ’men’s’ lunches with up to 1,100 diners. In connection with the tilting-atthe-ring festival in Sønderborg you can join our popular town and tiltingtour, that starts just after the parade. See p. 63. Knights dressed in impressive medieaval costumes perform the exciting sport during summer on the historical tilting-at-the-ring course at Sønderborg Castle. See p. 62 for dates and times. The Tilting Museum (Ringridermuseet) in Sønderborg is the only one of its kind. It provides an insight into the history of the festival. See page 51 and 63.
