    Who doesnt know these little plastic stones and who didnt play with Lego? I think nobody.
    If you are on your vacation with your family in Denmark you should visit the Lego park at Billung. There is a lot to see, whats also interesting for adults. Also rides in the style of Lego are there to entertain people.
