What happens
Aggersborg is the biggest of Harald Bluetooth’s ring fortresses, 240 metres across, with the ramparts visible as a great circle in the grass above the Limfjord. The craft meet is smaller and more focused than a market: around a hundred Vikings demonstrating smithing, textile work, woodwork and cooking, with guided tours of the fortress by the museum. It is the place to watch how things were made rather than to shop.
Getting there
Aggersund is on the north shore of the Limfjord, 45 minutes west of Aalborg by car. The fortress is signposted from the bridge. There is no useful public transport.
