Description

Innovation of yesterday in today!

In the area of the open-air museum, at the entrance to the Arntal in Innervillgraten, visitors experience a world full of fascinating stories and unforgettable experiences - tradition and craftsmanship come alive here in impressive ways.

It is a journey into the past, before electric power reached the region and water was the sole source of propulsion.

An ensemble consisting of a mill, a Venetian sawmill, a cloth fulling mill, a mountain hut, and a farmstead shows life in the Alps of earlier times with all its challenges, crafts, traditions, agricultural tools, wooden structures, and the power of water.

The exhibits in the mountain hut and farmstead, including various agricultural items, help to highlight the connection between the past and the present.

Visitors can not only see the elements of water, wood, grain, and wool but also feel and experience in regular demonstrations how they were used in those days.

The open-air museum "ALPINE LIFE" Innervillgraten offers fascinating insights into the past - a unique experience!
