Heart of the museum are the five Viking ships that were excavated in 1962 in Roskilde Fjord in Skuldelev . Based on the salvaged and restored wrecks one has studied the shipbuilding and craftsmanship of the Vikings and now maintains them at the shipyard of the museum. In the museum harbor are 39 reconstructed or restored vehicles that are actively used for sailing . You can witness the most spectacular sailing on the basis of a film in large format. The replica longship (30 m) 2 Skuldelev sailed in the summer of 2007 as " Sea Stallion of Glendalough " with a crew of 62 to Scotland to Dublin, Ireland in summer 2008 southern England to return to Roskilde . Thus was the dream of " how to sail the Vikings " become a reality. The weekend was also the festival at the Museum " fire, water and Vikings " instead . Folk Music Bands played and we could get to know the Vikings technologies : the production of charcoal and ropes, the forging of iron, wood processing and the original replica of Viking boats. It Boat Race and sailing trips were organized . For the coffee journey at the Roskilde fjord to the end of the visits us but the MS Saga Fjord was but rather as a Viking boat. The fjord with its many islands and islets, the picturesque silhouette of the Roskilde Cathedral , and above all a clear blue sky - this is very impressive . Since the Prindsen hotel had offered us a special menu for dinner , no one came up with the idea out of the house to eat. The menu was excellent and tasted just as decorative as they are done to the gala evening, which spoke highly of the excellent cuisine on offer . So we were all together and had nice conversations with round off the evening. After breakfast on Sunday it was called then farewell . We have again met old friends and met new ones. To many impressions and wonderful experiences we are richer YLs parted , and in the hope to meet again in two years. Tusind TAK to Inger and Bjarne and to their family and friends that they have organized this meeting so well . Aufwiederhören to the tapes and goodbye 2015 in Reykjavik ! Rosel Zenker, DL3KWR
