How did people live and work all those years ago? What type of trade did they follow?
Numerous museums in South Tyrol offer you ample opportunity to hear and see more about the traditions of the Dolomite inhabitants. An ideal cultural trip for your hiking and enjoyment holiday in the Dolomites.
For example, the Loden museum (Loden = tradition costume) is right beside Hotel Lodenwirt in the Puster Valley, and shows you how the finest Loden fabric is extracted from the wool of mountain sheep.
At the open-air terrain of the Folk museum in Dietenheim near Bruneck at the Kronplatz, there are two dozen farmhouses erected, originating from various valleys in South Tyrol.
Original equipment and tools used in farming life allow us to understand more about the trades and crafts, as well as dealing with the everyday life of our ancestors. Live domestic animals and work such as baking bread, cutting herbs, shearing sheep etc. make this open-air museum a great cultural trip for all the family.
