Description

An old farm mill built in 1576 serves as the location for the forest farmers' museum, where the history of the forest farmers and their secondary trades is told. Their crafts are visible in 13 workshops: from basket weavers to lumberjacks, carpenters, lime burners, charcoal burners, pitchers, wheelwrights and even carters. In the adjacent open-air museum, visitors can see an original sawmill.
