In the Iron Age, sacred temples are not built in Denmark, like in the Roman Empire or Ancient Greece. Instead, people go out into nature and place offerings in lakes and bogs. The bog is a sacred place and a gateway to the world of the gods.

On this tour, we meet the bog as a landscape and as the place where, for thousands of years, people make sacrifices to the gods – including the greatest sacrifice of all: a human being. Grauballe Man is the world’s best-preserved bog body. We come very close to him and learn about the methods that have been used by the researchers to reveal details of his life, age, health, last meal and death.

With the personal stories of the Vikings in our ears, we follow them through the smoky, narrow alleyways of Aros – the Vikings’ Aarhus.

We choose ourselves which person from the Viking Age we would like to follow on an adventure: Queen Tove, Harald Bluetooth’s young bride, 12-year-old Arne or how about the first bishop of Aros, Reginbrand? We sail our own ship over open seas and through belts to Norway’s mountains or travel via rivers to exotic Constantinople.
