The open-air museum features a longhouse, herb gardens, and several reconstructed Viking houses. We have shelter in case of bad weather.
The site is beautifully located near the Norra Malma Nature Reserve and has burial grounds at Lake Erken. After a full day of crafts and a hearty dinner, the sauna and a swim are a perfect way to unwind.

There is a wood-fired sauna by the lakeside that can accommodate 16 people. A WC, accessible toilet (RWC), and hot water are also available.

Accommodation:
You stay in your own tent, but upon request, a few communal sleeping spots in canvas tents and one reconstructed Iron Age house can be arranged.
