Take part, try things out or simply have a good time: Children and adults get their money's worth at the autumn festival in the Hagen Open-Air Museum. There are handmade products and culinary delights, as well as activities such as potato printing and pumpkin carving. Visitors can get really hands-on in Mäcki's smithy, where they can forge nails from red-hot iron. Nature lovers will also get their money's worth: the Hagen Beekeepers' Association provides exciting insights into the world of bees and explains the preparations beekeepers make to get their bees safely through the winter.
Another highlight is the Sunday tour on the subject of machetes, tobacco, precious stones - colonial traces in crafts and trades. Among other things, the tour focuses on which raw materials from the colonies were processed in Westphalian workshops and which products were manufactured for export.
