Mountain farm museum and woodsman’s cottage

Document Actions
It all started with a simple cider bar. Today, the “Hausstein” is one of the most important and most-visited destinations in the Dirndl valley. Find out how an innovative mountain farmer created jobs for himself and his family with old equipment and new ideas.

To farmer Bruno Tuder, “just” opening a bar to serve this year’s cider did not seem to have sufficient prospects. He knew that because of the remoteness of his mountain farm, he would have to create other attractions to pull in tourists. A quantity of dusty old pieces of equipment was transformed into an impressive representation of life and work on a mountain farm typical of past generations. The mountain farm museum was opened in 1996, and was joined in 1999 by a woodsman’s cottage, followed in 2001 by a barefoot path. Homemade specialities and a pets’ corner complete the attractions to appeal to the whole family.
