Valhalla (from the Old Norse language – “palace of the slain”) – in German-Scandinavian mythology, a heavenly palace in the city of Asgard, where warriors killed in battle go after death, and where they continue their previous heroic life.
“The Path to Valhalla” presents the mysterious saga of the fierce and courageous Vikings and their adventures leading them to eternal glory.

According to the sagas, Eric the Red sailed from Iceland with 30 ships, of which only 14 with 350 settlers reached Greenland, and founded the first European settlement on the island.
