Craftsmen and traders in authentic clothing offer their artistic work and goods, which have been made according to old traditions. You can find jewellery, helmets, clothing, fabrics, hides, woodwork, blacksmithing and a wide variety of weapons. There are many stands where you can get involved and learn about medieval handicrafts.
Viking fighters present their martial skills in show fights and present visitors with the various weapons that were used in battle at the time.
With a Viking ship, visitors can travel across the "sea" and row themselves. At an archery tournament with longbows, everyone can prove their skills and compete with others.
We will be musically accompanied at this market by the Danish band Krauka over the whole weekend.
