Life, living, and economy are the keywords that the museum village focuses on. What was life like back then? How did our ancestors live?
On an area of around 11,000 square meters, visitors can trace the footsteps of the Stone Age people. It is an exciting learning process that also provides entertainment. Discover the tools, household items, and clothing that caused a sensation or ensured survival at that time. Learn more about the tattoos that adorned Ötzi's body and his final journey, which has been reconstructed here.
Meet the animals from ancient times that have been faithful companions to humans for a long time - Przewalski horses, aurochs, Mangalica pigs, goats, and Soay sheep. Admire the technically simple but effective way in which the huts and tents of that time were built as you stroll through the village.
Special attention is given to children - here they are taught how to make fire as it was done back then. They can do archery, make flint knives, paint Ötzi tattoos, bake flatbread, drink berry juice, and let off steam on the Stone Age playground.
In the village's own restaurant "Ötzi's Einkehr," you can expect not only Tyrolean delicacies but also rustic Paleo cuisine, which is gaining more and more followers in modern times due to its naturalness and sustainability (lots of vegetables and fruits as well as high-quality animal products, no grains and legumes). You can also rent the restaurant for Stone Age parties, including an Ötzi fashion show.
And if you encounter a furry companion from long-gone times in the park, don't be alarmed - it's Ötzi-Franz, who is employed here, counts as one of the main attractions, and is happy to pose for souvenir photos.
All relevant information regarding directions, opening hours, admission prices, and programs can be found on the village's official website - a concession to modern times.
