In the heart of Switzerland lies the open air museum Ballenberg – one of Europe's most impressive open Air Museums. Spread over an area of 65 ha, history can actively be experienced. More than 100 old, original buildings from all over Switzerland are recreated in their original form, in every small detail, allowing an unprecedented impression of the history of Switzerland. Bread baking, cheese making, tiling, forge trade, tanning, weaving etc. are part of the experience to learn hands on about the old trades. A world without mobile phones and computers!!
