The Fellowship has since 1996 made travels in the south of Sweden and in Denmark to visit ancient sites. Here are the finest we recommend others to see. Of course we have a lot of places yet to visit, so we hope to make this list longer still.
For visits in Sweden we recommend the book "Med arkeologen Sverige runt", and for Denmark the book "Vejviser till Danmarks oldtid". As far as we know they can´t be found in english, but there are good maps. And of course you´ll bring good road maps, too.
