Experience the unique Viking culture in Denmark

A thousand years ago, the Vikings forced themselves onto the world stage and left Viking marks in many parts of Europe. Denmark, the homeland of the Vikings and a country shaped by Viking culture, is also the place that best showcases Viking history.

Burning romantic feelings, grand sword fighting, and magnificent scenes. Every summer, hundreds of volunteers bring an unparalleled unique experience to the Jels Viking cultural feast. The performance takes place in an open-air venue surrounded by towering trees and one of the three lakes, Jels Nedersø Lake. Since 1976, every performance has been held in this natural setting. During the performance, Scandinavian history is interpreted through contemporary art.
