Open-air museum in Großgmain

Old farm houses, inns, stalls and mills from the Salzburg region have been brought here, renovated and turned into an extensive museum complex. More than 60 buildings combine to present a picture of rural culture over the past 500 years. Guests can visit Alpine huts, a village school, a sawmill, a blacksmith shop, and also observe numerous craft demonstrations. Visitors can see how rural folk lived and worked, some aspects of which still exists today.

Here children not only learn about the past, but can also play on a special playground or in the petting zoo. The Schanigarten restaurant offers visitors an ideal place to take a little break.

Special exhibits and activities are also scheduled here. Starting in 2010, a unique antique railway will carry young and old through this open air museum near Salzburg.
