Heichelheim Viking Festival
Known locally as Wikingerfest Heichelheim
The last edition has finished and the organiser has not yet published dates for the next one. Going by previous years, expect it around mid September 2027 — but that is our projection, not an announcement, and nothing is settled until the organiser publishes the dates. Check with the organiser before you travel: am-ettersberg.de.
