Entry to the sensuous world of a mystical material. With modern video installation and simulation technology and historical equipment, the museum shows the impressive path from the sheep to the fullered material. Follow the sheep on their path up to the high alpine pastures. Dig in freshly shorn wool. Experience the manufacture of loden right in front of your eyes.
Loom, spinning wheel and fullering mill tell exciting tales. Today, modern machines manufacture the loden but little has changed about its character. Once, loden was the everyday garment of the shepherds and farmers. Then even princes and emperors wore it. The noble glamour of aristocracy has remained to this day.
Opening times: The Loden Event World with open-air enclosure, event museum, manufacture and shop is open from Mon. to Sat. from 9 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. (July and August from 9 a.m. to 6.30 p.m.) |
