 From Germany’s neo-Nazi skinheads to groups of Swedish immigrants in Minnesota, USA, a diverse range of hero-seekers, history buffs and just plain lunatics are today in search of their Viking roots. This story follows some of the old Viking routes, from Birka in Sweden to the Lofoten Islands of Norway and down through the Shetland and Orkney Islands of Scotland, as far as Vyborg in Russia. Featured also is the new Viking Ships Museum, in Rosskilde (Denmark).
