Listen to stories at Yggdrasil's roots
Norse mythology is packed with wild stories. Like the one about the dragon Nidhogg, who gnaws at Yggdrasil's root, or the goddess Idun, who eats the apples to gain more wisdom.

Orange means action in the experience center
Keep an eye out for the orange color. If you see it, it means you should press, turn, push or do something completely different. See, among other things, how Viking life comes alive with drawings when you press the orange buttons.

Travel back in time from the roof
Don't forget to visit the roof, where you can travel through time. When you look through the telescopes, you can see back to when the palisade surrounded the center of power, when the church burned, or Jelling's old main street was full of life.
