Denmark has many things to be seen. Just as Oslo, in Norway. But if there is something that these two places have in common, it is the presence of the Vikings, a past that left his traces, which today we can still visit.
The true thing is that the Vikings have turned into a legend species, and sometimes the borders between the reality and the imagination of difuminan a little … But what yes is true is that these warriors were assaulting the coastal populations (not in vain they were been afraid by many) and they turned into a few expert navigators. They were capable of constructing impressive ships and of sailing along the seas in the most unfortunate conditions.
And nevertheless, they managed to cross remote waters and come up to the north Europe, occupying the North of Great Britain, France, Iceland … But undoubtedly, Denmark keeps really valuable traces of his presence. In fact, Ribe, the most ancient city of Denmark, has the Museum Viking, in whom we can find jewels of big value that they speak to us about the culture vikinga and everything what it meant.
Also, we can see a reproduction of a people Viking in the Center Viking of Ribe, in an archaeological emplacement of the VIIIth century, in which there can be seen some of the activities that the people Viking was carrying out. And the fact is that a strong bequeathed Viking keeps Denmark.
Not in vain, they were the founders of Alborg, which is to the north of Denmark, approximately 1300 years ago. Also it has a museum in which it is possible to see the remains Vikings in the area and something very interesting, which gives us idea of how it was the idea of the death and the rites concerning her that the Vikings were following, since it has several emplacements with graves vikingas.
Pero Noruega, Oslo in particular, is other of the places in which the trace of the Vikings is still present strongly, and which we can visit from Alborg. There we will be able to enjoy the Museum of the Ship Viking, in whom there are three wooden ships with his respective heads of dragons (one shows more than interesting of how important the navigation was for this people), which were rescued of a fjord; and of a particular vision of the world of the Vikings: VikingLandet.
It is a question of a thematic park in which an establishment and a port is reproduced, with actors disguised as Vikings and big quantity of activities that allow us to know the culture vikinga of a lively form (between them, to sail in a ship Viking)
