Tucked behind Brienz (about 30’ from Interlaken) is the open air museum of Ballenberg. A number of traditional old houses from different parts of Switzerland were taken apart and then built up on the grounds.
„Take an exciting journey through history with more than 100 original, centuries-old buildings from all regions of Switzerland. Watch a blacksmith at work at the anvil, learn how cheese is made or explore the world of animals at the Museum. Enjoy the fun side of Ballenberg with a barbecue party, relax in our flower and scent gardens or follow in the tracks of history on a horse-drawn carriage ride.“ Quote
At the moment a theatre group performs a play with the name of „Rötele“ or red head. Because of the color of her hair she was often laughed at. But as the play follows her through her life and choices she makes she turns out to be a solid, wise and respectable lady. The poor lady tenaciously and faithfully clings to her plot of farming land without making any negative compromises and thus in the end wins a lot of respect.
