The Pfahlbauten Unteruhldingen (Pile Dwellings Unteruhldingen) are Germany's oldest open-air archaeological museum. A journey through 10,000 years of history awaits you. After visiting the newly opened museum hall with its original finds, you'll enter the multimedia show ARCHAEORAMA, where you'll take a virtual dive into the pile dwellings in Lake Constance. You'll then be taken to the villages from the Stone and Bronze Ages, always with a magnificent lake panorama. Here, past periods of human history and different ways of life spanning three millennia come to life. The tour continues with the Stone Age Trail and Pile Dwelling Cinema, where experimental archaeologists introduce the house-building techniques of that time.
