Bavarian Forest Museum Village, Open-air museum in Tittling, Germany.
The Bavarian Forest Museum Village is an open-air museum in Tittling that brings together numerous traditional buildings moved from different locations across the region. The houses span various time periods and show how people lived and worked in this area over the centuries.
The museum was founded in 1974 to preserve the cultural heritage of the Bavarian Forest through restoration and relocation of old buildings. This effort grew from the rescue of threatened rural structures into a comprehensive record of how farming communities developed over centuries.
The museum shows how people worked and lived in Bavarian Forest communities across generations, with farmhouses arranged to demonstrate the rhythm of village life. You can see how homes were designed to serve both family and farm animals, with rooms reflecting the practical needs of rural families.
The site is easy to explore on foot, with clear paths connecting the buildings and rest areas for taking breaks. Wear comfortable shoes since you will be walking among many structures and the terrain varies throughout the grounds.
Among the relocated buildings stands one of Germany's oldest schoolhouses, a rare medieval structure showing how education and childhood were experienced centuries ago. Walking through its small rooms reveals the intimate scale of learning in rural communities of the past.
