Lejre Attractions and museums Viking experiences

Have a fantastic day for the whole family in Sagnlandet Lejre, which is a unique and exciting excursion destination with houses and environments from the Stone Age, Iron Age, Viking Age and working workshops.

A kind of historical playground for both children and adults, where you can also experience other prehistoric periods. Everything is noticeable based on archaeological research into what life looked like before. Here you can literally touch the story.

Out here you can see people dressed as you looked in the Viking Age, see their crafts, tools, and even try to fight like a Viking.

Here you get the Viking Age completely under the skin, and it is a more tangible and down-to-earth way to experience, which is easier for children to understand, says Sagnlandet’s Viking expert .
