Winterleben im Freilichtmuseum
Come along on a journey back in time to the Middle Ages!
In the reconstructed houses of the museum village, the villagers, dressed in medieval costume, invite you to make yourselves comfortable on furs by the glow of the fire. Watch them as they cook, carve and spin. By the warming fire, the fairy-tale witch Silberzweig tells winter tales.
The village square will also be full of atmosphere: blacksmiths and bonfires bathe everything in a warm glow.
Delicious soup, freshly toasted bread baked over the flames and hot mulled wine will warm you from the inside. And all around, a colourful programme of events awaits you!
