Just a few kilometers from Grödig is a unique journey into the past. At the Open air museum in Großgmain by Salzburg visitors can experience what farm life was like in the Salzburg region.

Open-air museum by Salzburg

Open-air museum by Salzburg

Old farmhouses, agricultural buildings, barns, and mills from Salzburg were carefully dismantled, restored, and reconstructed to form an extensive open-air museum. More than 60 historical buildings—including alpine huts, a village school, a sawmill, and a blacksmith’s workshop—offer fascinating insights into rural life and farming culture over the past 500 years.

Visitors can experience traditional craftsmanship through live demonstrations and see how Salzburg’s farming community once lived and worked.

Brand new yet already quite old, the charming nostalgic railway has been operating since 2010, offering a delightful ride through the open-air museum.

Take your time and embark on a journey through six centuries, where you can explore Salzburg’s rural past. Discover ancient farmhouses, marvel at the simple and diverse life of former times, and enjoy the warm hospitality at the cozy museum inn, "Salettl".
