Viking Settlement at Avaldsnes - a feeling of being back in the Viking Age
The Viking settlement is situated in beautiful natural surroundings on the island of Bukkøy and is accessible on foot with a 10 minute walk from St. Olav's Church. Here it is possible to see and experience how the Vikings lived. Every aspect of the day-to-day life of the Vikings, from work to celebrations including farming, fishing, handicrafts, commerce, art and culture are on display here. Many buildings typical of Viking times are re-constructed using original techniques and of special interest is the granary and round house from the pre-Christian era. The other buildings are replicas from around 900 AD. Adjacent to the settlement is a pier with a capacity for large boats complete with service building including modern toilet facilities. The Viking Hall is also available by private rental for diverse social arrangements.

The Viking Village
Did you know that vikings did not have horns on their helmets? And that Norway means «the way to the north»? This and more you can learn in the viking village at Avaldsnes outside Haugesund.

The Viking Village gives you a baptism into Viking life (Fjörukráin)
The Viking Village gives you a baptism into Viking life
There are rumours that busloads of tourists have been snatched from their coaches in Hafnarfjörður by wild Viking warriors and held in a rock wall cave, watched over by a polar bear at one end and the Viking god, Thor, at the other.
The reports say that they were treated mercifully, given plush rooms to stay in, a chance to bathe in the geothermal hot pool sheltered by a rock wall, overlooked by gods, before being brought into the Viking long hall - a restaurant in modern parlance - with rough-hewn wooden tables, under the watchful gaze of Freyja, the goddess of fertility, a large wooden carving over the upstairs bar. Viking shields that look as if they've been used recently and the heads of wild animals like reindeer, hang on the walls alongside murals of major events from history.
The bar dispenses drinks of all kinds, while above it, fish swim in a large tank, held up by hand-carved wood pillars. An equally massive stone throne awaits a worthy chieftain. The abductees are treated royally, given large wooden plates of food and jugs of drinks, regaled with stories and songs by minstrels, in an evening to be remembered a lifetime. Fish from the harbour across the road, sheep's head and lamb and other Icelandic cuisine is on the menu.
Those taken in mid-June, found themselves guests at the Viking market where, under rough tents, artisans made and sold their wares. They sat enthralled as competing tribes fought a pitched battle.
Vikings love to celebrate and the Valhalla hall is set aside for groups of up to 50. It's a the place for wedding celebrations, for schools or incentive groups to get together. Many are even inducted into the warrior clan, given helmets and certificates, certifying their valour.
Not only is the hotel state of the art in every one of its 42 rooms that early Vikings would envy - or snort at, depending on their disposition, but there are also 14 Viking cottages for families or couples who want something different. For the modern guests, there is also WiFi and parking space. You don't have to wait to be abducted, you can book in advance. Horses are stabled elsewhere, nowadays.
The Viking crafts have lived on and can be seen - and taken home with you, for a little bit of silver - crafts from the Nordic countries, Faroe Islands, Greenland and Iceland, itself. Probably the best thing you'll take home is the experience of real Viking hospitality.

Exploring an Abandoned Viking Village in Iceland
My latest adventure took me across the world to Iceland in hopes of learning more about the history of the vikings. I have always thought the best way to learn about a cultures history is to walk in the footsteps of those before us. On our journey we were fortunate enough to stumble upon an abandoned viking village in North East Iceland. The village had obviously been remodeled but it was still a neat experience getting to walk the same grounds as the vikings did hundreds of years before us. I also got a chance to experience the blue lagoon iceland. I highly recommend the blue lagoon if you're traveling in this area. I can't say enough about my experience in the land of fire and ice. The knowledge I have gained from this experience will stay with me forever.

Explore Fjord Norway: Viking Village
Fjord Norway is the actual source of most of the images you likely associate with Norway in general. The region runs along the country's southwestern coast, comprising a dramatic landscape of fjords, mountains, cliffs, and islands, as well as some truly special cultural and culinary centers.
For this exciting partnership, Matador dispatched a small crew of our most talented Ambassadors to traverse the region and do what they do best, be that kayaking world-class whitewater, trekking the regions epic trails, or simply photographing scenery that seemed be pushing to new levels just around that next curve in the road. Scroll down to see the stories and media they came back with.
