There are places near me worth a visit. Perhaps I can show a few of them in this thread.
On a hot day like yesterday, you'll rarely find people in an open air village museum. A good opportunity to take pictures, so I decided to go to Mönchhof, a few km from my village. The museum there shows old buildings, furniture, professions from 1890 - 1960.
First of all, you'll have to look for it, in case you weren't there before. It's "hidden" near the train station.
Here's the entrance:
The museum has a website where a "map" can be downloaded, in English as well.
Just to show it's location (not from the website):
Maps
The buildings there were mostly made by the founder himself, he also collected many of the things exhibited there.
As soon as you enter the museum, this will catch your eye:
A toll house with barrier next to an old Trabant. This should remind of 1989 (see number on car), when many people left the former GDR and crossed the Austrian border next to Klingenbach.
There's an old cinema
On rare occasions, old movies are shown. In winter, this place is used as stage.
