In the farmyard you will find a longhouse, a boat house for a Viking warship, a roundhouse and several smaller buildings. Outside the farmyard there are paths through the forest for those who will just seek some peace and tranquility. In the summer season the Viking Farm is open for tourists. In the evenings and in weekends it is possible to rent the longhouse for guided tours and banquets, and while the fireplace sparkles and the flames cast shadows on the walls, you will be taken back to the 10th century. Each Year in June there is a Viking Festival at the Viking Farm. Then Vikings from many countries set up their tents among the reconstructed buildings. - Karmsundet - The strait that gave Norway it’s name! - The Five Wayward Virgins - Five standing stones beneath the high arch of the Karmsund Bridge.
