Valhalla of the Vikings

Experience the autumn of the Vikings both indoors and outdoors when bonfires and Viking tents fill the beach where the Viking ships are docked, returning home for winter from their raids. Help the Vikings get ready for the cold by building boats and baking "Viking biscuits" over a fire or train for the next voyage. Learn to throw with mooring rope or fight like a Viking with sword. Show your courage to the god Tyr and help him regain his lost courage by solving a series of tasks.

Board the impressive longship 'Havhingsten fra Glendalough', the world's longest reconstruction of a Viking ship at an impressive 30 metres and listen to stories about the magical ships of the Norse gods. Learn how new Viking ships are built today and how knowledge about the Vikings' way of life is expanded by sailing the ships.
