Historic Crafts

May 09, 2024 at 11:00 - May 09, 2024 at 16:00

During the Kr. May 9-12, Bork Vikingehavn will be filled with creative and passionate Vikings from near and far, showing off their many historical crafts to visitors - so come by and experience it up close.

You can see the large rune stone at Bork Vikingehavn being repainted in bright colors, experience a bead maker in action or admire the skilled arrow weavers. You can also watch the pale linen being transformed into beautiful colors and embroider beautiful ornaments on the Vikings' costumes.

The Vikings are happy to share their craft and answer all your questions. Maybe you'll even want to lend a hand yourself? But be prepared that the Vikings' enthusiasm is contagious and you can easily get bitten by the craft.

You can also experience

  • Meet the miller, see the watermill in action and hear stories about its use and importance to the Vikings. Read more
    (Every day at 12:00 in German and 14:00 in Danish.)
  • Bake a delicious flatbread. Read more
  • Shoot with a bow and arrow like a true Viking. Read more about it
  • Catch the Fenris Wolf and save the life of the god Balde in our exciting puzzle hunts. Read more about it

Historical crafts at Bork Vikingehavn can be experienced on May 9, 10, 11 and 12 from 11-16.

We go there again and again

One of the most beautiful Viking villages I know. We go there again and again every year and you feel that there is always something new. Both in the shop on site and new buildings or attractions.
