Karl May Museum
In the "Villa Shatterhand", visitors follow in the footsteps of Karl May and his heroes Winnetou, Old Shatterhand and Kara Ben Nemsi. Winnetou's silver box, Karl May's valuable library, his oriental study and souvenirs from his world travels are also on display here. The important Native American exhibition in the historic "Villa Bärenfett" log cabin impresses visitors of all ages and brings the culture and way of life of the indigenous peoples of North America to life in an interactive way.
In the idyllic museum park with BBQ you will find Europe's largest tepee, relaxation by the fountain under shady trees and adventure for the children in the playground.
