YGGDRASIL

The relics of Danevirke and Haithabu, on the border between Germany and Denmark, are so hidden in the landscape that they are difficult to distinguish.

Their hidden presence in history is similar, because what does the average European know about the culture of the Scandinavians and Vikings of the early Middle Ages?
This subtle presence is also a special quality, but only if it is firmly anchored in the “mental” landscape.

YGGDRASIL introduces some new relics and rituals into the landscape, and a novelist is invited to write a historical novel about the hidden culture of the Vikings.
The title of the bestseller will be: “Yggdrasil, Asgard und Vanaheim”
