Forest work with horse

Tuesdays and Thursdays in week 3–9

11.00 - 14.00

Experience forest work as it was done in the past.

Winter is the season for timber harvesting in the forest. In the upper part of the open-air museum, above the mountain farms, we are creating a logging forest as it would have appeared in the 1890s. Here, you can experience how forest work was carried out with horses. Our farmers enjoy having visitors in the forest and showcasing the old traditions.
