Royal Denmark

Danes are known descendants after the paladin Vikings. They were 1000 years ago among the world’s best sailors, who went on long voyages to England, Iceland – perhaps even America. But how was it to sail in their elegant ships?

Yes, why not find out – by trying for yourself!

It gives you and your family the opportunity at Roskilde last year. Several times each day during the summer rallies both directly descended from Viking ships from Port Museum in Roskilde’s famous Viking Ship Museum. 12-18 man in each boat has a sail knowledgeable skipper in the stern to guide the participants safely through the 50 minute long trip.

All on board participates actively in the voyage. Veins are the master of command put in the water – with a cheerful chaos to follow. For the stick in all directions. It is difficult for so many people to synchronize their strokes.

But: Amazingly fast coming all along. And skipper in bagstævnen will hear the comment that almost always comes from the enthusiastic rowers: We did not know that Viking ships sailed so fast.

After about half an hour of rowing, it is time to turn around and ride back is now navigable. Everyone is helping to set sail – with the glorious fluttering sound from the rallies distended sail the boat to the harbor.

Refreshed by the voyage at bay – or before you take the trip – it can definitely recommend visiting the Viking Ship Museum. Here you can see the old Viking ship reconstructions, workshops, exhibitions etc.
