General Suggestions
Depending on how close you want to examine the museum your visit at the Rhineland-Palatinate open-air museum lasts between two and four hours. If you follow the two kilometre-long, sign-posted cirrcular walk you will pass every house and won't miss out on anything.
For your visit, we recommend water proofed clothing and comfortable, solid shoes.
The written museum guide which is both available at the museum's shop (Museumsladen) and the museum's cash desk provides at length detailed information on history and usage of the individual buildings and institutions.
Our staff is glad to receive your hints, criticism and suggestions. You may also use the questionaires of our visitor's survey which are displayed at the entry and the exit.
Advices for wheelchair-users and people with prams
As the ways are designed according to historical examples they cause difficulties to wheelchairs and prams. Experience has shown that it is more convenient to follow the signposted circular walk. Those depending on wheelchairs need a strong assistant to support them on the uneven walks. This person needn't pay the entrance fee. Unfortunately, some historic buildings cannot be visited with a wheelchair due to their construction. A toilet suitable for wheelchair-users is situated at the Dierbach-house in the Pfalz-Rheinhessen-village.
Hints for school classes, youth groups and families with children
In order to make the visit at the museum more interesting, free riddles about the museum for different ages are available at the check counter. Please bring along pencils!
We request kindly that parents, teachers and group attendants supervise their children and teenagers during their stay at the museum. Please take care that neither your children or our animals, nor the houses and facilities sustain any damage.
Diaper changing tables for babies and nurslings are situated in every village, namely: at the ladies' room in the Wolfersweiler-house and the Daubach barn, at the gentlemen's room in the museum's restaurant, and at the toilet suitable for wheelchairs in the Dierbach-house.
