Ötzi Village in Umhausen
How our Ancestors lived
Life in the Stone Age
The archaeological open air park in Umhausen offers life like insight in to the Neolithic Period. Ötzi Village is not your typical museum, its not static, its alive – here you can see how things were, take part in activities such as starting a fire, use bows and arrows, fur tanning (a leather making process) and much more.
See, Feel and Take-part – A new experience of things that were relevant long ago.
Here you will find authentically rebuilt replicas of huts, tools, weapons made 1:1 to the site where „Ötzi“ was found on Tiesenjoch (Similaun) at the far end of Ötztal, and much more. In Ötzi Village you can experience the past in whole new way! We have special exhibitions on different topics, for example music, clothing, weaponry, jewlery and tools – letting you experience Neolithic life in a authentic way! You can take part in the Free tours, use an audio-guide (German, English, French, Italian or Dutch) or use your own cell phone as your guide! There are loads of great coursesfor kids and youth and the whole family
