The Iron Age in the Forge
Sparks fly from the furnace when the bellows go.
The furnace must be burning hot to forge iron.
With a hammer and anvil, the iron can be moulded into all the tools and objects that were important in the Iron Age man’s life and everyday life!
Come and visit the Iron Age forge in Lejre Land of Legends on 20-21 September and feel the heat!
Learn how to read the temperature from the colour of the iron and hear about how ant ore is dug out of the subsoil and turned into iron bars for forging.
