Alright, so we are finally convinced that the first week of April is not the best time to go visit the Northern Peninsula. After traveling the 400 km and a bit distance in order to finally be able to see the old viking site, when we got to the gate for the path to lead into the UNESCO historical archaeological site, the path was covered in snow 1-2 feet high. It was impossible for our little sedan to make it through. So instead we followed another sign to visit Norstead, the nearest community to the UNESCO site. Since Norstead is still an active community where people live all year around, the road was cleared and we were able to drive to do a quick tour.
Walking through the reconstructed viking site in Norstead. I heard that in the summer, they have interpreters dressed up in period clothing to take visitors through the history of when the vikings were here. I need to go back some day since I absolutely love these types of guided/interpreter visit. I apologize for not being to able to include more interesting information with this post, since I really did not get the chance to learn much this visit. Next time.
