Step into the world of Vikings and medieval Sweden on a guided walk along the scenic shores of Lake Vallentuna. With an authorized Runriket and pilgrimage guide, explore historic sites and learn about runic writing, Viking culture, and fascinating historical landmarks. Begin at Jarlabanke’s bridge, a symbol of powerful Viking nobles, and hear stories of their lives, conflicts, and the victims of this turbulent age. Continue through Täby Church to admire its late medieval Albertus Pictor paintings, walk along the water to Arkils Tingstad, and finish at Vallentuna Church, uncovering the hidden history behind walls and artifacts along the way.
Throughout this immersive journey, your guide brings to life the social, cultural, and spiritual history of the region. Discover the stories of slavery, Viking expeditions, and noble power, while experiencing beautiful medieval churches and panoramic views. This walk is part of a collaborative project with Sweden History Tours, which offers public and private tours, ghost walks, and thematic experiences exploring Viking times, dark folklore, and other historic themes in Stockholm, Uppsala, Sigtuna, and Vallentuna. The route is accessible by public transport, and participants are encouraged to wear good walking shoes, dress according to the weather, and bring a water bottle and lunch.
