Loden Experience

In the small, genteel museum with an outdoor area, the creation of loden cloth is illustrated in an imaginative way, from the sheep to the end product, from the wool to the finished product. You will also learn interesting details about the history of the robust woolen material, which was once used as garments for shepherds and farmers and, soon thereafter, for princes and emperors. You get a glimpse into the Oberrauch-Zitt factory, whose fashion shop is right next door.
