Hiking

The Bavarian Forest Museum Village is one of the biggest attractions in the Bavarian Forest. Over the past decades, one of Europe's largest open-air museums has been created on the shores of the beautiful Dreiburgensee lake. More than 140 mostly furnished buildings now attract numerous visitors every year. Upon entering the museum village, you'll step into a bygone era and can admire the diverse house and farmstead styles of the Bavarian Forest from the 14th to the 19th centuries: mills, sawmills, wayside shrines, and chapels. A special attraction is Germany's oldest elementary school.

At Dreiburgensee, you'll find several places to stop for refreshments: from the shady beer garden right on the shore to the inn at the open-air museum – regional delicacies and refreshing local beers await you everywhere. There's also an e-bike charging station along the way. An ideal stop amidst nature, culture, and culinary delights.
