Spend half a day with us and you will learn about how we live in this region today, and in which parts of our daily life we follow the Viking footprints that were first walked here over a thousand years ago.
You will learn about old handcraft techniques, food traditions, plants and farming, and ancient mystical belief and folklore. You may even learn some secrets from the area that very few people know about today. Maybe you would like to try on some reconstructions of Viking clothes, and find out how you would look as a Viking?
At a visit to us, you will be welcomed as our private guests, and you will be treated with traditional hospitality.
As an introduction to food and plant traditions, you will get a lunch of home made snacks that consists of locally made food from our own Viking garden or harvested in our forest. Everything with a hint of Viking Age, and based on local tradition. The selection will depend of the season, and there will always be something tasty, and maybe even surprising to taste on a visit to Viking Footprints.
