In the 1st Tyrolean Wood Museum you can follow the history of the country in detail. In a "rustic" authentic wooden house, the birthplace of Hubert Salcher, behind a modest signpost, visitors from all over the world can trace the region's tradition and the art of woodcarving back to the 17th century. On more than 1000 m2 , the carver and sculptor leads his guests along the "wood path" of his ancestors' history to the modern carving art of today. 3000 exhibits related to the natural material wood can be seen on the two floors of the museum as well as outside around the house. From the wooden nail to the woodworm, the artist presents the tradition of woodworking in a lively way. Old and curious devices such as the largest and smallest planes in the country, spinning wheels and cots, ceiling beams, horse-drawn carts and even chains and postcards are among the historical products that Hubert Salcher has collected over decades for his museum.
