Facts and practical information

Nestled on the shores of Lake Constance in Uhldingen-Mühlhofen, Germany, the Pfahlbaumuseum Unteruhldingen stands as an open-air museum that transports visitors back to the Stone and Bronze Age. This archaeological site is a unique window into the ancient pile dwellings, or stilt houses, that were once ubiquitous in Alpine Europe.

The museum features reconstructions of prehistoric stilt houses, built above the water just as they would have been thousands of years ago. These structures provide a vivid glimpse into the lives of the region's early inhabitants. Visitors can walk through the settlement, exploring the thatched roofs and rustic interiors, which are filled with replicas of artifacts found in the area.

Founded in 1922, the Pfahlbaumuseum Unteruhldingen is not only a popular tourist attraction but also an educational site that offers insights into the way our ancestors lived, worked, and interacted with their environment. Guided tours are available, providing detailed explanations of the archaeological findings and the historical significance of the site.

The museum is also child-friendly, with interactive exhibits and activities designed to engage younger audiences. It's an ideal destination for families, history buffs, and anyone interested in the prehistoric era.
