Ballenberg is an outdoor museum in a huge parklike setting, so it doesn't feel like a museum. Historic buildings from all over Switzerland have been reconstructed here, and old handicrafts such as cheesemaking, silk-spinning or lace-making are regularly featured. A beautiful way to spend an entire day.

Parks & Nature
In the summer, the Axalp Woodcarving Trail (Schnitzlerweg Axalp) is a wonderful little hike. As this area is known for woodcarving, after a bad storm in 1999, the carvers went out into this area and carved over 100 of the tree stumps left broken by the storm. The 'pearl' at the end of the hike is the deep-green mountain lake, called Hinterburgseeli. One can also hike further above the lake, to the restaurant Hilten for lunch. Great traditional Swiss food. As always in mountainous regions, check first whether the weather and hiking conditions are good, and whether your own physical condition is sufficient for the hike - the high altitudes can make hiking more difficult... ; )
The hike is not suitable for baby strollers as parts are steep and the trail is bumpy.

All bus and train information, can be found on www.sbb.ch.
The bus stop directly in front of our home is Schwanden-Brienz, Birgli. The closest train station is BRIENZ. If you enter in your start point on sbb.ch, as well as your end destination, you'll get all valid connections to our home. The busride from the train station to our home is 5 minutes. Or 15 minutes on foot (uphill!) -- so if you are travelling with heavy luggage, I'd recommend the bus.
