House and Roof

A guided tour around the way of building in the past: Which materials were used, how are certain roofs designed and what is the difference between log construction and beam-and-column construction?

Life as a Small-Holder

For the inhabitants of small farms with little land and cattle, additional income, e.g. as carpenters, weavers or day laborers, was of vital significance – a time travel to the social history of Upper Bavaria.

Rooms for Rent!

How did hosts and guests live together on the farms during the summer months? This tour will show the development and the effects of tourism.
