The Land of Legends

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, you can taste the Vikings’ food, 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 .

Did you know that the world's smallest kingdom is located in the middle of Roskilde Fjord? 🧡

It's called Elleore and most of all looks like a peaceful bird island when you sail up close. But make no mistake. The Kingdom of Elleore has its own regent couple, royal council, ministers, and their own laws. They even have their own coins and stamps! 😌

Sail past the kingdom on your way to Roskilde Harbor or onboard the M/S Sagafjord. Remember: the island is privately owned and it's therefore not allowed to go ashore ⛵️
