Autumn break at Trelleborg: When Vikings Are at Their Worst
Holiday activity
Special registration
9 Oct 2026—16 Oct 2026
Look forward to the autumn break at Trelleborg, where Hugin and Munin invite you into the Vikings’ dark world.
The Vikings were far more than heroes. Sometimes they were raiders, warriors, fearsome enemies, or settlers. They could be superstitious and believe in ancient legends and myths.
Around the fire, they told stories of dragons and deadly battles that could frighten even the bravest Viking.
This autumn break, Hugin and Munin invite you into the Vikings’ dark world. Are you brave enough?
