Meet the Iron Age people and warriors from Prindsens Hverving

The clang of swords, the clatter of shields and the echo of shouts. On 22–23 August, the Prindsens Hverving association will take over the Iron Age village of Lethra and transform it into a living picture of ancient times. Two days where drama, craftsmanship and everyday life come together, and where anyone who fancies it can get up close and personal with the Iron Age. Watch the warriors march forth with clanging swords and clattering shields — and afterwards, try your hand at selected crafts and tasks, whilst the Iron Age folk recount what life was like over 2,000 years ago.
