Just outside Copenhagen is this historic village with three houses and a farmhouse and now a bridge.

The 700 m bridge is the newest tourist attraction that one shouldn't miss out on. Now open to public, the bridge is the world's longest viking bridge and a result of three years of heard work by the locals of Viking Village and the Kroppedal Museum. But why visit a bridge This isn't just any bridge, it is in fact one-of-a-kind. More than a thousand children along with local expert craftsmen and volunteers have built this bridge, completely hand-built with viking tools and techniques.

The village itself is a great place to be, it showcases the way vikings lived back in the day.
