How it works
Our first stop is the groundbreaking Viking House, a virtual reality experience that recreates the world of the Vikings and explores their connection to Stavanger. Through a short VR film, you’ll learn about King Harald and the historic Battle of Hafrsfjord—one of the most dramatic and important events in Norway’s history, which led to the unification of the country.
From here, we return to the real world and visit the Swords in Rock monument, which commemorates this epic battle. Unveiled in 1983, the three 33-foot (10 m) bronze swords symbolize peace, unity, and freedom.
Our final stop is the mysterious Domsteinene, an ancient stone circle that has puzzled archaeologists, historians, and locals for more than 250 years. Theories about its origin abound—was it a Viking-era sacrificial site? Or does it represent celestial directions in the sky? Perhaps you’ll help uncover a new interpretation during your visit.
