Open-air

A realistic presentation of the way of life is best possible in an open-air-situation showing in this case an original farm-building of old, reconstructed here, with all ist fixtures; the main features are wood as primary building material worked in the traditional manner, low ceilings to keep in warmth, small windows for the same reason as well as the sounds and smells of such a construction. It’s a journey ‚retro‘ into a time not long gone. The building in fact is a typical example of the local style and is situated on a slope between the barn of Sandhof and the chapels. As was common the building has own smithy, a water-powered mill, a corn depot, a bread oven, living quarters as well as stables, giving an excellent example of set and setting of the rural economy of people living in a simple but self-sufficient manner.
