Museum in Detmold
The small German open-air city museum Detmold has many attractions, including a great place to visit - the Freilichtmuseum.
Detmold is a very popular destination among tourists. The old city center with a theater and a park is really worth seeing.
But the main attraction of Detmold is a beautiful castle, Furstliches Residenzschloss. The price of the visit is 4 euros.
Now let's go directly to the museum.It is called the Westphalia Municipal Museum dedicated to folklore / ethnolinguistics and is located on the outskirts of the city, but it is not difficult to walk there from the center. It will take no more than 15-20 minutes. Entrance here costs 5 euros, and for children - 4 euros.
The first thing that visitors can see at the entrance is a water mill, near which there are horses. Any tourist can hire a carriage and plunge into the atmosphere of the past.
In one of the buildings there is an exhibition entitled "Planet Westfalen 2010". By the way, the Ruhr Area was named the European Capital of Culture, therefore many compositions and events are dedicated to him.
The field, the wooden houses, the pastures of the sheep and the windmills - most likely, everything looked exactly so many years ago. This unusual atmosphere has been preserved in the city of Detmold so far.
