Address

Open-air museum on the hill east of Lake Brienz, with an east and a west entrance

Around a hundred farmhouses and barns, carried over from every corner of Switzerland, sit along forest paths. You can walk into most of them, and bakers, weavers and cheesemakers work right there. Goats, pigs and cattle wander the yards and now and then block the lane. A full loop is a real walk, so wear proper shoes.
