Schwarzwalder Freilichtmuseum Vogtsbaurnhof

The Black Forest Open Air Museum is one of eight open air museums in the state of Baden Wurttenburg. All the houses have barns connected to them. It is the wise way of the past. In the winter, the animals help keep the house warm, provide food, and are easy to care for, without having to go out in the snow. The thatched roofs from this region were huge to protect the people and animals from the weather!

A tiny farm chapel, outdoor shrine, spiritual display on the side of one of the large barns/display areas.

Grey Geese, Bee House and Rabbits...

The insides of the houses were all similiar (though some simplier, some fancier) , due to the regional relationship to one another....and all the furnaces were green!

for our fashionable friends.....
