Regular action days offer visitors the possibility to experience the usage of old tools and equipment live. Cobblers, carpenters and blacksmiths will demonstrate old techniques.
Next to the herb day there is also a presentation of the open-air theatre taking place. Of course the harvest festival is being celebrated in a very traditional way and there are also readings in Low-German.

Opening times: action days from April - October
