The Swiss life; a journey into the Ballenberg Swiss Open-Air Museum

Where did old farmhouses, stables, bakehouses or barns in Switzerland, which were replaced by modern buildings, go? They were dismantled and rebuilt at the Ballenberg Swiss Open-Air Museum. Spread over an area of 66 hectares, it’s a place where you will find heritage houses, rural handicrafts (think hand-carved wooden artefacts, hand-embroidered tablecloths, ceramics etc.), hay lofts, cellars and more. It is located about 20 minutes from the Brienz town centre.
