Creator's Key Takeaways
Our tour guide at Viking Valley was amazing. She was just super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable, and she shared a lot of uh fascinating history about the Vikings that really brought the whole place to life.
Standing in front of the Borggan stave church was uh surreal. It's almost a thousand years old. Uh, it was built in 1180 and just being that close to something so ancient and beautifully preserved was just incredible.
We had a great time at the Viking Village. Uh the cost was about $25 a person for an adult and we got to try out some archery, axe throwing, and just soak in the the the atmosphere.
The Boya Breen Glacier was one of the few glaciers that that uh was close to us that was uh really easy to access by car and no hiking was required.
