Farm Museum Jexhof

Description

The Jexhof Farm Museum in the idyllic landscape of the Allgäu offers a unique experience for the whole family. Thanks to barrier-free accessibility, even people with physical disabilities can enjoy the museum to the fullest. At the Jexhof Farm Museum, visitors can gain an insight into life on a farm in the 19th century. Original preserved buildings, such as the farmhouse parlor, the barn and the stables, offer an authentic impression of everyday life on the farm.

In addition to visiting the buildings, the museum also offers interesting guided tours and workshops. For example, visitors can learn how to make their own butter or bake bread.

The Jexhof Farm Museum is known for its barrier-free accessibility. Wheelchair accessible paths and ramps allow easy access to all buildings and exhibitions. The blind and visually impaired can also explore the museum thanks to audioguides and special guided tours.
