Join us on a hike around ancient Jelling in search of Vikings. The hike begins at the top of Nordhøjen, winds through Iron Age Jelling, and descends through the forest to the river valley, where you’ll find traces of limestone quarrying and fish farming. Then, head up the slope through the ancient sunken road systems and back to Iron Age Jelling, past the Tour de France monument, and finish at the Jelling Stones.
