During the 2025 season, in addition to our historic buildings, traditional crafts and farm animals, you’ll discover a vibrant and blooming floral world along the 10 km interactive trail. Biodiversity you can see and feel.
In order to furnish the buildings, the Ballenberg Open-Air Museum collects objects from rural life and farming from the time before agriculture began to become motorised (before 1950). These items and related secondary information of all kinds relate to earlier ways of living, social structures and economic activities in the farming community, as well as crafts and commerce. Our collection currently holds over 45'000 objects.
