Meet Ulf the Viking!

Meet Ulf the Viking!

Meet Ulf the Viking among the ship burials of Valsgärde, in the shadows of the royal mounds of Gamla Uppsala (Old Uppsala) or among the runestones of Uppsala! He might even make a visit to your conference! Go rowing with him along the river Fyris – feel the smells, listen to the sounds of nature and the old Viking tales. His satchel contains souvenirs from places he has visited and countries he longs to go back to, and he gladly shares tales from his adventures.

Wounds from innumerous battles now stop him from going on further raids, so he will not only tell you about journeys and fights, but also about the women, the children and the everyday life he is now living. And, of course, about the fabulous buildings he has seen being built in what we today call Old Uppsala!

The Complete Viking Experience

You might meet Ulf the Viking in a place of your choice as a cicerone in the Viking world or ask him to arrange a complete experience of the Vikings and their ancestors in Valsgärde and Old Uppsala! Ulf might take you rowing in a Viking boat, show you boat graves, burial mounds and sacrificial groves and tell you about archeological excavations. He might offer you mead from his horn and round it all off with a proper Viking feast!
