Switzerland<br />
– at the Swiss Open-Air Museum<br />

Brienzwiler in the heart of the Bernese Oberland. Here you<br />
can discover 109 historic buildings, over 200 farm animals and 30<br />
traditional crafts. On April 14th <strong>2022</strong> the Swiss Open-Air Museum<br />
opens its doors to visitors for the <strong>2022</strong> season, and this year it’s<br />
ready to be discovered from a new perspective.<br />

Experience Ballenberg in a compact way: equipped with the<br />
Ballenberg “à la Carte” menu card (available on-site at the cash<br />

films, Ballenberg experts give you in-depth insights into everyday<br />
life, as well as the buildings and crafts.<br />
Selected locations are also easily accessible for people with walking<br />

All ears – the world of Swiss fairy tales and legends at<br />
Ballenberg<br />
What is it about the three golden keys? Who lives in the<br />
Marmilchloch? Why did Nidelgret always have more cream than<br />
everyone else, even though she only has one cow? You can hear the<br />
answers to these questions at the Open-Air Museum Ballenberg.<br />
Fascinating fairy tales and legends from different Swiss regions,<br />
each told in its unique dialect, are also waiting to be uncovered<br />
at Ballenberg. QR codes lead you to the stories, each located in a<br />
historical building belonging to the region of its origin. So, where<br />
could the wooden fairy tale book be hiding? On the kitchen table,<br />
in the living room or maybe on the bedside table in the bedroom?<br />
You’ll have to find out for yourself. If you want to make sure you<br />
discover all the hidden tales and legends, ask for the “All Ear”-<br />
bookmark at the cash-desks, it will give you clues, where to find<br />
mystery fairy tale books.<br />
Furthermore, the project “All ears – the world of fairy tales and<br />
legends at Ballenberg” has been launched in collaboration with
