Heinrich-Harrer-Museum

The Heinrich-Harrer-Museum is an ethnological museum in Hüttenberg that displays objects collected from different parts of the world. It shows masks, tools, jewelry, and other artifacts brought back from expeditions and travels.

The museum grew from the work of an Austrian explorer who traveled to Tibet in the 1940s and documented local traditions there. These experiences and the collections he gathered became the foundation for this museum.

A prayer room holds Buddhist objects and traditional Tibetan textiles gathered from around the world. These items give visitors a sense of how these traditions are practiced and valued by the communities they come from.

The museum is open during the warmer months and has set visiting hours, so it's wise to check the schedule before arriving. You can visit without a guided tour if you prefer to explore at your own pace.

On the hillside across from the museum, a winding path climbs upward and connects visitors to the surrounding landscape in a physical way. This route was blessed by a spiritual leader and is now popular with those who want to explore the area more fully.
