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 .

The Vikings’ “Royal Arena” – Denmark’s largest Royal Hall

The restored royal hall is part of an entire Viking environment in Sagnlandet Lejre. With the royal hall in the middle, the area is full of exciting activities and experiences for the whole family, where you see people dressed like in the Viking Age, you can taste the Vikings’ food, see their crafts and even try to fight like a Viking. Here you get the Viking Age completely under the skin.

The Royal Hall is more than 10 meters high and measures 60 meters from gable to gable. It is built of over 1,000 tons of oak timber and decorated in the most beautiful way with figures from Norse mythology; Odin and Tor, Odin’s ravens and wolves, snakes snorting and proud eagles.
