the open air museum

After a short walk from the old town you reach the farm area. There is a mill and other typical buildings. There are also special roofs, they are made of grass.

The whole farm life can be seen there. To store the hay for the winter time there were sheds made of wood. Also the farm houses are made of wood. I think the stone houses are more for the winter time whereas the wood houses are for the summer time.
