We are proud to be at the oldest sheep farm in Greenland, continuing a tradition that began with the Norse Vikings more than a thousand years ago. And where the pioneer Otto Frederiken started as the first greenlandic sheepfarmer. To day also part of UNESCO World Herritage.
We offer a wide range of activities for you to enjoy
