VISIT THE LAND OF LEGENDS CAMP

Take the family by the arm and travel back to the distant past. Meet the Stone Age hunter, the Iron Age farmer and the Viking traders. Grind flour and bake bread biscuits, sail a Stone Age boat, shoot a bow and arrow and explore life long ago.

In the Land of Legends there are high ceilings and plenty of room to play. Throw yourselves into the many activities for young and old, or unfold your picnic blanket and settle down in the sun with a picnic basket. We’ll light the fire so you can warm your lunch over the embers – and you can borrow barbecue grills, popcorn pans and breadsticks.

Take a walk in the historic areas, see what the people of the past had for dinner, find out if the wool clothes are itchy and if the old beds are comfy or hard as stone.

You can also say hello to the goats in the petting zoo, watch the wild boars being fed or hunt for treasures of the past in the archaeological watershed. Who knows, maybe one of you will make the best find of the month?

Experiences in Lejre Land of Legends

Stone Age

Chalk your shoes and head to the furthest corner of Lejre Land of Legends. The hands of the clock race backwards at full speed until you reach the time when man bowed to the whims of nature and lived in and from what he could hunt and gather. On the shore of the lake stands […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
