Until 1852 - The original Filsø The lake already played a major role in the Viking Age, when it was a fjord open to the North Sea. At Henne Kirkeby there was a large Viking settlement with around 375 small workshops where wool was woven. Later the fjord was closed by the shifting sand, and the lake became an important source of livelihood for farmers, hunters and fishermen. Simply a dream.
