🇩🇰Velkommen to RAGBRAI🇩🇰
Where Vikings and Trolls Meet 🧌

Most trolls live under bridges, but ours came by boat, and the Vikings led the way.

As you make your way into Elk Horn, you'll find the towering windmill, Danish traditions, and a prairie unlike any other. The windmills stand watch, the Vikings lead the way, and somewhere among the grass, a troll in a boat is waiting to be discovered.

Arriving in Elk Horn can only mean one thing, you've entered troll territory. Whether you arrived by bike, boat, or pure determination, you've found your way to a place where history, culture, and a little bit of adventure come together.

Take time to explore the Museum of Danish America, the Windmill, and to search for the Troll and Viking, all while experiencing the Danish heritage that has shaped our community for generations.

Velkommen to Elk Horn: where Vikings, trolls, and Danish traditions meet on the prairie.
