Pile Dwelling Museum

10,000 years of history in one hour

Pile Dwelling Museum Unteruhldingen

Lake Constance has fascinated people since the Neolithic and Bronze Age. So much so that they built their dwellings directly into it. Today, this can be recreated by the 20 original huts that the staff of the Research Institute for Prehistory and Early History at Lake Constance have placed on stelae in the shallow water zone. The Lake Dwelling Museum in Unteruhldingen shows the everyday life of our ancestors in an educational and entertaining way. Archaeological finds of tools and jewelry are also there to marvel at.

For families and children, the Unteruhldingen Open-Air Museum offers special programs and activities that impart knowledge about the past in an entertaining way. From archaeological excavations to playful learning stations, there are many ways to bring history to life.

If the desire to discover seizes you, you can hike on the "Uhldinger Zeitweg". Over 25 stations, the path leads through 10,000 years of landscape and cultural history. Choose between a short tour (1.5 km, approx. 25 min.), the western round (2.5 km, approx. 45 min.) and the big round (4.8 km, approx. 80 min.). It is interesting in any case.
