August 24, 2025, Valsgaard Viking Age Farmstead

If you visit on the weekend, you have a good chance to chat with the "residents" and learn some interesting facts about the Viking era. On the second-to-last weekend in August, the Battle of Wallsbüll takes place next door. A Viking market with many activities centered around Viking life is held.
