Viking Valley, Gudvangen - in the heart of the unique UNESCO listed Norwegian fjord landscape - is the setting for the town of Njardarheimr, bringing to life the real history and culture of the Viking Age.
Viking Valley is a two hours’ drive from Bergen (five hours from Oslo). Here, between the fjord and the mountains the Naeroyfjord area was awarded World Heritage status by UNESCO in 2005, and has been described by National Geographic as one of the most beautiful places on the planet.

Viking Festival at Avaldsnes
Every year in June, we invite you to Western Norway's largest Viking festival at the Viking garden in Avaldsnes.
"Vikings" from all over Europe gather here. Historic surroundings, with reconstructed buildings from the Viking Age, set a nice setting and a wonderful atmosphere around the event. This is a meeting place for friendship and cultural development.
Viking Festival old
This festival is organised at the Landa Park, near Stavanger (NO).
Medieval Market Avaldsnes
Harald Fairhair made Avaldsnes his Royal residence after the battle at Hafrsfjord at approximately 870 a.d. Avaldsnes continued to be a royal manor for his descendants up to approx. 1400 a.d
Lofotr Viking Festival
The festival's theme is trade and cultural exchange. The theme has been chosen on the basis that the Vikings had contacts across cultures and several of our objects in the exhibition refer precisely to this. We want to highlight trade and cultural exchange during the festival.

Lands Museum (NO)
Lands Museum is located above the village centre of Dokka. We are a local museum of the Søndre og Nordre Land kommuner. The museum was established in 1927 to document and preserve the history of the Country. Today the museum is a centre for cultural and natural history, and is active with conservation and international wetland work.
In the open air area we have over 35 historic buildings that reflect the region's architectural style from the Middle Ages up to the 1900s. One of the houses is a reconstructed smoke cottage from right before the time the Black Death struck this area (1349). It was built in 2002 based on excavations in Oslo and Uppland County.
