Kaupang-Jernaldergården 2009 - English

The Hafrsfjordvikings are gathering it's friende for a vikingmarked from friday 19. to sunday 21. juni.

This year it all happens on the hill Ullandhaug, on the historic ironage farm - Jernaldergården, with a beautiful view of the sagafjord Hafrsfjord.

Even if the farm is a few hundred years older than the vikingage it gives a fantastic setting and suronding for a vikingmarked.

The buildings , fields, sheep, atmosphere and not least the view will make this an excellent site for our annual kaupang.

Plenty of visitors, among them guests from 5-6 visiting cruiseships, will give the tradrers many buyers and the fighters and archers a sufficient audience.

Our fighters Rygene doing what they do best - fighting.

The housewife at Jernaldergården Kaia greets her guest well.
