Historical experiences at Hvolris

Our ancestors have lived in the area since the Stone Age - about 6,000 years ago and until now. Hvolris primarily focuses on the Iron Age in the time around year 0. Uniquely for a historical workshop, you can see archaeological excavations side by side with the reconstructed Iron Age village in the hills at Hvolris.
