A Viking women playing 2 nose flutes at a time is the most popular YouTube video

- we have uploaded since we uploaded our first video 1 year and 2 months ago.

“Viking Music, Viking warriors, Viking children, etc. Ribe VikingeCenter, Denmark”

has been seen 3250 times the first year. Gudrun Victoria Gotved is the Viking Woman playing the flutes

The comments to this video have been very different:

  • Danish vikings!
  • shes hot
  • Yak! Does she really put the flutes in her mouth after having them in her nose???
  • Go Gudrun:)
  • What the fuck?
  • what place is this? Where people don’t want to live in the modern world and decide to live as our forefathers instead??

Though we have seen this Viking woman play nose flutes we can still be facinated by others doing the same. Take a look of  this Nose Flute Musician in Mumbai

More than 10.000 people have seen one of our YouTube videos the first year.
The second most seen is our breakfast video (in Danish).

We understand people prefer to see a video about Vikings to a video about  Danhostel Ribe’s breakfast. And we also think it was much funnier to film the Vikings than our own breakfast.
But we are sure that those who like our Viking video also will like to taste our breakfast buffet when they stay at the hostel:-)
Here we will show the video in English. Breakfast at Danhostel Ribe

The third, 4th and 5th most seen  of our videos are from the Danish Championship in rock climbing in our sports hall, Ribehallen, 2010

Once again an impressive Viking market in Ribe opened the season for Ribe Viking Centre (Ribe VikingeCenter).
See more Viking photos and find out where you meet the Vikings in Ribe on Danhostel Ribe’s homepage

When you are in Ribe don’t miss Ribes Vikinger (Ribe Viking Museum, Ribe’s  Museum of the Viking era and the Middle Ages). Thousands of artifacts found during archaeological excavations in Ribe, Denmark’s oldest town can be seen here – also a  rune stone  found last  week close to Ribe Cathedral. 
If you return to this homepage in a few days we will show you pictures of the stone.

Denmark’s biggest Viking Market in Ribe grows even bigger in 2010

Don’t miss 9 days of authentic market atmosphere, when more than 300 Vikings from all over Scandinavia meet at Ribe Viking Centre for the yearly unique Viking Market.
This year the Viking Market will last for 9 DAYS because Ribe is celebrating its 1300th anniversary as a town.
1300 years ago – in the Medieval Viking Era – Ribe Viking market all ready existed at the river of Ribe, 2 minutes walk from our hostel Danhostel Ribe

Enjoy this movie from  Ribe Viking Market and I am sure you can’t wait to go there yourself

At the market you will meet the best Viking craftsmen working and probably strike a good bargain, you will smell the Viking Food being cooked in the fire place and meet the farmer and his animals. You will see horsemen on Icelandic horses, Viking warriors fighting, the falconer letting his birds of prey fly, musicians, jesters an if you are not afraid you can let the vølva Gunna tell your fortune.
