Ballenburg Swiss Open Air Museum, Switerzland 2015 part 1

We walked to Wilderswil train station, took train to Interlaken Ost and took train for about 20 minutes along scenic lake to Brienz and then took 10 minute bus ride through scenic mountain to Ballenburg Swiss Open Air Museum. I highly recommend this attraction.

Information
What began in 1978 with 16 characteristic Swiss buildings, is today an extensive exhibition with about 100 residential and agricultural buildings from all over Switzerland, on a 66 hectare large area: this is the Ballenberg Open Air Museum. The historic buildings and their kitchens, chambers and living rooms illustrate rural life in Switzerland.

But Ballenberg Museum really comes to life thanks to the original and authentic cultivation of useful plants, the over 250 domestic farm animals and thanks to the craftsmen and farmers who work with traditional tools. Thematic exhibitions and special events about culture and customs complement the offerings.
