The burial ground at Vang is the largest Iron Age burial site in Norway, and one of the most extensive in Northern Europe. More than 900 large and small mounds and cairns are concentrated in a beautiful landscape.

Trøndelag county authority has made a guidebook for the burial ground at Vang. The guide is written for a wide audience, with knowledge and stories about Vang. The booklet tells about graves and burial customs, trade, culture, hunting and trapping, and puts the burial ground at Vang into a larger context based on archeology and cultural historical research.
