The most authentic way to experience this tradition is in the Vogtsbauernhof open-air museum in Gutach on the Black Forest Railway. Original Black Forest houses from the 16th century were rebuilt here. Extras demonstrate life on the farm of this era. The traditional costumes of the Black Forest can also be admired here. The characteristic Bollenhut and the peasant clothes are now mainly presented on regional holidays.
In Schiltach, the Schüttesäge Museum provides an insight into the region's wood processing history, and numerous mines, for example in Oberwolfach and Haslach, offer guided tours through old tunnels. A very special experience for the whole family is a ride on one of the historic Black Forest trains. These steam locomotives not only offer a journey through the beautiful landscape along various panoramic routes, but also the ancient charm of traveling on steam trains.
