Summary: The aim of this paper is to discuss the importance of the water environment for the early medieval Scandinavians in the Viking Age, taking into account Norse mythology, the expeditions of the Nordmanns, their everyday life on their home lands and boatbuilding.

As excellent sailors, the Vikings were inextricably linked to the aquatic environment, and "the ship was the dwelling of the Scandinavian". Seas and rivers were not only convenient routes of communication, but were also important trade routes and, above all, a field for close and distant expeditions, both for plunder and settlement. Therefore, it is worth asking a question about the real significance of the water environment as a factor determining the wandering of Scandinavians in the 8th-11th centuries, which took the form of Viking expeditions reaching not only the remote corners of the then known world, but also went beyond that boundary of cognition, and how it regulated the sphere of beliefs and ordinary everyday life of the people of the North.

In my presentation I would like to present in a synthetic way the conditions of the water environment and its importance for the Scandinavians, who during the three centuries of the early Middle Ages influenced a considerable part of societies and states, as well as other peoples they came into contact with through the medium of water. The question also arises as to whether, had it not been for the environment which they so exploited, the great Nordmann movement would have taken place, and the words of the prayer "a furore Normannorum libera nos, Domine" would have been raised in many places in Europe.
