The Vikings Awaken

March 31 at 11:00 - March 31 at 16:00

The Viking harbor is waking up, and many of the museum's volunteer Vikings have chosen to spend their Easter holiday in the Viking houses at Bork. 

The houses are being prepared for spring and the annual cleaning is underway - everywhere sweeping, dusting, washing and getting ready for spring. And maybe you can help get the Vikings out of their feathers? But beware - you might also have to help wash the tables, dust and prepare, because in Viking times everyone helps out.

For Vikings Awake Bork Vikingehavn will be visited by a real völva, who will make a blót at the sacrificial site every day at 13:00. A blót can best be compared to a gift exchange, where people give the gods a gift - or an offering - and hope the gods will give something in return, such as a good spring for the crops or health for the family.

In addition, there will of course be exciting activities you can participate in. They will vary from day to day depending on what else the Vikings are doing. Among other things, it can be:

  • Bake a delicious flatbread. Read more
  • Make a fine leather purse. Read more
  • Try shooting with a bow and arrow like a real Viking. Read more
  • An exciting story and demonstration of the watermill's use and importance to the Vikings. Read more
    12:00 in German and 14:00 in Danish.

Explore and see what the Vikings are doing and see what activities are going on that day. Of course, you can also let your imagination run wild on our exciting puzzle hunt.

The Vikings Awaken can be experienced every day from 11:00-16:00 from March 28 through April 1.

We can only recommend it

Really nice Viking village with a cozy café. There are employees present in the houses who are happy to give explanations. To our delight, it is also in German, which is not to be expected in a foreign country. The small shop, which also serves as a ticket office, offers jewelry and everyday items.

Very cool Viking village

Very cool Viking village with many attractions. We could do archery, bake bread and more. You also get a lot of information about the Viking Age and the actors are very authentic. You can even find a blacksmith shop here. We can only recommend it, a visit is worth it.

Impressive reconstruction

Impressive reconstruction of a Viking village that you can touch. There are fun activities (e.g. archery, leather bag and bracelet making) for children (around 4 to 14 years old). We spent a good 4 to 5 hours exploring everything in peace and doing the activities with the kids. If you are local and interested in Vikings, you should not miss this highlight!

Great place

Great place to learn more about the Vikings and how they lived. We enjoyed the visit and the kids had a great time making candles, purses and a bracelet.

Highly recommended!

Super exciting and authentic insight into the life of the Vikings. Adults can learn a lot, and children can discover a lot through play. We baked bread, made bracelets and gold bags, and lifted a lot of dumbbells. Highly recommended!

Definitely worth a visit!

Lots of different informative stations, including among others a replica of a "dragon boat" (which you can get into!), a Viking ritual site, and a water mill. Also lots of activities for kids. Definitely worth a visit!
