EXPERIENCES

The Viking Age
‘Greetings, strangers, on this day of Odin’ At the King’s Hall, the Vikings of Lejre Land of Legends will greet you in a courteous manner and let you take a look at life in and around the hall as it might have looked more than 1000 years ago. Meet the blacksmith by the fireplace, peek […]
The Iron Age
Step out of everyday life and travel to the distant past. Experience the mix of idyllic village life and harsh living conditions with all your senses. The road to the Iron Age village of Lethra winds between soft hills, and on both sides of the path are the village sheep munching on the wild grass. […]
Bonfire Valley
Swing your axe and see if you can chop a tree trunk. That’s one of the challenges in the bonfire valley, where you’ll be equipped with axes as they looked in the Iron Age. You can also zip up your lifejacket, board one of the hollowed out logs and paddle out on the lake as […]
1800s
Where the road meets a bay, there is a house so beautiful. In fact, there are two houses, together they make up Krikkebjerghuse. Follow the road and enter a crackling rural idyll that otherwise only exists in literature. Two small white thatched houses are surrounded by their own lush vegetable gardens and fruit trees. Ducks […]
The workshops
The workshops Two small white thatched houses nestle on the edge of Videsø. They house Lejre Land of Legends’ historic workshops. The pottery is home to the potters, while next door they work with textiles. Step inside the potter’s workshop and watch a cup being turned on the bench. Or maybe a Jutland pot is […]

FIND YOUR WAY TO THE PAST

ARE YOU IN A CAR?

Lejre Land of Legends is located in the middle of Zealand’s rolling hills, just seven kilometres from Roskilde. You can drive here from all parts of Zealand in less than an hour. There’s plenty of room for your car, as Lejre Land of Legends has around 300 parking spaces right at the entrance.

ARE YOU TRAVELING BY TRAIN AND BUS?

During the main season, trains and buses run all the way to Land of Legends. Take the train to Lejre station and get on bus 233. It runs directly and the departure times match the train to and from Copenhagen. You can find the full timetable for Bus 233 on the DOT website.

ARE YOU ON A BIKE?

The bike ride to Lejre Land of Legends is an experience in itself.
The majestic Ledreborg Allé is the longest in the country and a wonderful challenge for the legs. Two national cycle routes and the Maguerite Route run roughly past the main entrance to Lejre Land of Legends.
