Appenzell show dairy

How the holes get into the cheese

In the visitors' gallery, you can watch the production process live and learn more about the well-kept secret of its flavor. At the end, you can of course taste different varieties - and take them home from the store.

Hop Museum Tettnang

History you can touch

In the family-friendly museum, you can immerse yourself in a time when hop harvesting was still hard manual work and also a social event. During the harvest in late summer, you can experience the picking and drying process live, outside the season via video. The museum combines modern hop growing with a loving exhibition - from the field to the beer.
