Transporting logs the Viking way
evaanna Says: You don't need much strength to move enormous logs if even children can do it. Just let the Vikings teach you.
Learn archery while you are here
evaanna Says: If you have never had a bow in your hands, here is your chance to get your first experience of archery. I turned out to be no good at it: the arrows didn't even get as far as the target, but my husband excelled at it.
evaanna Says: If you are a visitor to the Viking Village in summer time, you can have a go at the activities presented by the children yourself, which is a great way to get to know the practical aspects of Viking life. One of them is combing wool, which you can see the girls in this...
See the Viking boat and the coast

evaanna Says: When we settled in in our kennel-like house at Fjallbacka, we couldn't wait to see the coast right at the back of our cabin and set off for a walk almost immediately. The view was really lovely, walking on the smooth rocks easy and pleasant. Just one thing made us go back...
evaanna Says: Fjallbacka is a very pretty coastal village, with a marina and lots of boats moored beside the colourful summer houses dotting the rocky coast. Some of them are on pales to prevent them from being flooded by the waves but when we were there the sea was perfectly calm. It was...
