Hedeby-Danevirk, Archaeological complex and nature reserve in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
The archaeological site spans 33 kilometers, featuring remnants of Viking settlements, fortifications, and earthworks along the ancient Danish-Frankish border.
The settlement of Hedeby functioned as a primary trading hub between Western Europe and Scandinavia from the 8th to 11th centuries, until its destruction in 1066.
Archaeological excavations have revealed extensive trade networks through discovered artifacts including ceramics, jewelry, and tools from various European and Middle Eastern regions.
The Viking Museum Haithabu offers guided tours, reconstructed buildings, and exhibitions displaying archaeological findings, with entrance fees of 8 euros per person.
The Danevirke fortification system includes sections constructed from different materials across multiple centuries, including earth, timber, stones, and medieval bricks.
