The dragon and daughter (Danish: lindorm og jomfru [1] ) is a Danish folktale.
Once upon a time, a father was gathering nuts in the forest for his daughter. One nut had a worm inside, which the daughter took care of. Over time, the worm grew into a dragon. [2] The daughter was not able to send away the dragon. On the advice of the villager, the daughter left with the Lindworm for an island. However, the island did not have a hill, so the daughter and dragon moved to the north of the island. Daughter and dragon lived in Lundø island for several years. Dragon lived digging hole in Lundø island. There was the place with the hill called Hald. The dragon and daughter lived in Hald. It is said that the place was called Lindhöj. [3] [4] (mean "The hill of the dragon").
28. Der var en jomfru, hendes fader havde fundet en nød i en skov, og så tog han den med hjem og gav datteren den. Der var en orm i den, og den opelskede hun og havde i en æske så længe, til den blev til en lindorm. Hun kunde ikke siden blive den kvit; men så blev der rådet hende, at hun skulde rejse over til en ø med den, hvor der ingen höje var. Så søgte hun til Lundø, og der boede hun i nogle år ude nord på landet. Lindormen gravede sig allerførst et hul ned i jorden, men så var der en höj ovre i Hald, der rejste denover til og boede i, og siden kaldtes denne höj Lindhöj.

The lindworm or lindwurm was a popular motif found on runestones in 11th-century Sweden. Portrayals vary across countries and the stories in which they appear, the creature generally appearing as wingless with a serpentine body, dragon's head, scaled skin and two clawed forelimbs. Depictions imply lindworms do not walk on their two limbs like a wyvern, but move like a mole lizard: they slither like a snake and use their arms for traction.

It is located in the central Town Center neighborhood and runs south to north from Banegårdspladsen to Søndergade and provides access to Rosenkrantzgade. Ryesgade is today one the busiest commercial pedestrianized streets in Denmark. It was created in 1873 as an extension to Søndergade to connect the Central Station to the rest of the inner city.

Søndergade or Strøget is a street in Aarhus, Denmark. It is located in the inner city neighborhood and runs 350 metres south to north from Ryesgade to Skt. Clemens Stræde and provides access to the alleys Telefonsmøgen and Posthussmøgen. Søndergade was created between 1854 and up through the 1860s as the city expanded southwards following the abolition of octroi and the city walls. The word Sønder is an older Danish form of "south" and the name thus means "Southward-street". Søndergade is part of the 750 meters long shopping street and pedestrian zone Strøget which runs from Aarhus Central Station to Aarhus Cathedral, consisting of the three streets Søndergade, St. Clemens Street and Ryesgade. Strøget has about 47,000 visitors on a daily basis and some 14 million visitors annually, making it among the busiest commercial streets in Denmark.
