Räucherkerzen Land, Tourist attraction and incense cone museum in Crottendorf, Germany.
Räucherkerzen Land is a museum and café in Crottendorf devoted to the tradition of incense cone production. The building features a 15-meter-high structure with exhibits about how these traditional German products are made, alongside a working café in the same space.
Production of incense cones in Crottendorf started in 1936 when Freya Graupner began crafting them in her kitchen using local ingredients. These humble beginnings later grew into an established craft that shaped the region.
The place shows how incense cone making is woven into the daily life of this region and passed down through families and workshops. Visitors experience the local craft by exploring different scents and shapes on display.
The site is wheelchair accessible with adapted facilities throughout the building. Visitors should allow enough time to explore both the exhibits and enjoy the café.
Visitors can make their own incense cones in dedicated workshop spaces called Kerzl-Kich and Kamin-Stub. This hands-on experience with traditional methods is something most guests remember long after their visit.
