Who still knows box or temple hopping, tenners and blind man’s buff? Children and games festival Children can try out the sometimes forgotten activities to their heart’s content. The largest open-air museum in Lower Austria, with its historic village ensemble including an inn, school, grocery store, cellar lane, craft houses and churches, provides insights into the everyday life of children and, of course, adults in times gone by. You can experience authentically how the villagers lived and worked around 1900.

There are also two children’s playgrounds where you can romp around to your heart’s content. If you get hungry, the cozy village inn right on the village square will spoil you with regional dishes. Alternatively, idyllic picnic areas invite you to linger.

Reading promotion cannot start early enough. Reading in the park, the holiday campaign of the Institute for Youth Literature brings books directly to children in the summer – to the playground and the parks. Picture books, children’s crime novels or non-fiction books can be borrowed and studied on site. Of course there is also reading aloud and crafts. The campaign runs – with a break in mid-August – throughout the summer holidays, only closing the stations when it is raining. (Sebastian Fasthuber)
