Row a Viking boat and visit historic places
Dressed in Viking attire, we will row a Viking boat along the river Fyris in the waters around Valsgärde burial ground and Old Uppsala. You might take part in the rowing or you might just sit back and enjoy the ride in the steady boat surrounded by unspoilt nature.
In Old Uppsala you will find large burial mounds, a sacrificial grove, a museum and a church with medieval wooden sculptures. You will walk along the burial grounds of Valsgärde and see the curious remains of boat graves where men of importance have been buried in boats filled with riches and grandeur. Helmets, weapons, caparisons, household utensils and sacrificial animals have been unearthed by archaeologists. The tour might be customized with elements to fit your requirements. Contact us and let us arrange it for you!
