Hitzacker: Family trip to Wendland
Activities: We visited the first Bronze Age open-air museum in Germany. We explored reconstructed longhouses, a pit house, and a death hut. We tried out a stone hand mill and worked with flint with safety goggles, and explored the Bronze Age vegetable garden. We also saw the brand ruin, which is under scientific observation
Highlights: The atmosphere was enchanting, and many things were designed for touching and participation. We enjoyed trying out the stone hand mill and the look into the bronze age garden. There were also toilets with a changing table, which was very important for us ✨
