Franconian Open Air Museum Bad Windsheim — Attraction in Bad Windsheim

Not olny we had a fantastic day at the open air museum, but also we have learned a lot and had a lot of fun. The day started at the Biergarten with a Schäufele, and then we started visiting the museum. Very nicely rebuilt old hauses and all the life around life at the time is reproduced in great detail.

All the homesteads are connected with little walkways, passing by old sorts of corn that they're growing to produce their own bread and beer as a hundred years ago. There are special events like the spring festival and the autumn fair when they pull out the old (but still working) equipment to demonstrate what working at the farm in the 19th/20th century looked like. For sure...
