Alfresco dining

Benches and tables throughout the museum grounds are great places to stop and relax. Well-equipped BBQ areas with firewood and running water are also dotted around the site. When lighting fires in the open air, please observe the current regulations with regard to fire hazards and Foehn winds coming from the Alps (refer to signage and daily schedule). Strong Foehn winds create a fire hazard. In order to protect our buildings and the forest, smoking and BBQs are not allowed throughout the open-air museum grounds on these days.
