Together with its outbuildings - including Cone Hut, the hay barn and the old ice cellar - it forms a comprehensive complex, where nature, recreation possibilities, cultural heritage, as well the production and use of forest and timber throughout the ages are introduced.

The dinner held at the Big barn offers you multiple cultural experience, possibilities to enjoy the people, and of course, the food. See the DINNER MENU.
