Lejre Land of Legends
Lejre Land of Legends is a unique attraction with its large and famous King's Hall, houses and environments from the Stone Age, the Iron Age, the Viking Age as well as workshops. Discover a historical playland for children and adults, where you can also experience other prehistoric eras. Everything is based on archaeological research about life in the past.
Discover 13,000 years of Danish history and enjoy the stunning Ice Age landscape. Let the children dive into hands-on adventures: paddle in dugout canoes, make fire with flint, grind flour, go on a time-travelling mission – and much more.
The land you’re invited to explore
This is a uniquely beautiful and exciting destination with reconstructed homes and environments from the Stone Age, Iron Age and Viking Age, as well as working craftspeople and rare historic livestock breeds.
The Wild Road
Take a walk across animal enclosures and the glacial terrain on Lejre Land of Legend’s newest feature: The Wild Road – a 330-metre boardwalk winding through treetops and glacial hills, up to 8 metres high, crossing animal paddocks along the way. See wild boar, goats, and aurochs from above while discovering the wild story of the pig and human shared history over 5,000 years.
The Wild Road is fully accessible for wheelchairs, prams, pushchairs and more.
Denmark’s largest Viking royal hall
The massive Viking-era Royal Hall rises like an upturned ship on a hilltop in the Ice Age landscape. Sit on the King’s throne and imagine Viking warriors gathered around the open hearth in the middle of the hall. Legend has it that the hero Beowulf fought the monster Grendel to defend this hall – King Roar’s Royal Hall.
