Thuringian Open Air Museum in Hohenfelden
The Thuringian Open Air Museum Hohenfelden invites its visitors to go on a time travel into the world of our great-grandparents: More than 40 historical buildings from four centuries and different regions of Thuringia belong to the museum, for example farmhouses, a windmill or a forge. Because they could not be preserved in their original locations, they were moved here. The houses have been sensitively restored and furnished true to the original and rich in detail. One could believe that the inhabitants left their house only for a short time.
