Explore historical Swiss houses and workshops, discover farmhouse gardens full of flowers, clucking hens and hardworking cart horses. Ballenberg displays Switzerland's multi-faceted culture, the traditions and everyday lives of people in bygone times.

Start your trip at one of our two entrances (east or west). You will receive a Museum Map which helps you in planning your stay. Furthermore, a schedule of currently presented traditional handcrafts will be handed out. You are then free to discover the museum’s 66 hectares of land.

Various inviting restaurants throughout the Museum offer you a pleasurable break. And the shops display homemade products for sale - delicacies to enjoy on your way or to take home. At the picnic spots there's wood ready to build a fire.

If you get tired, sit back and be driven through the Museum in a carriage (not included in the price). For children too there is a lot to see. Attractive places for them are the "hands-on house", the games at the Cheese Storehouse from Wasen BE, the "Enchanted Forest" as well as the playground with stroking enclosure and merry-go-round by the Recreation Pavilion from Sarnen OW.
