Forstmuseum Silvanum mit Sonderausstellung

Landl

Großreifling and its Silvanum. What exactly is that, you might ask?

It’s an old granary, which was turned into the Austrian Forest Museum in 1979. A world of wood awaits you! After all, the wood industry has always been an essential part of the region’s economy. Just sit down in the 3D cinema and enjoy – the many stories about nature will give you plenty of food for thought.

All About Wood

In the museum, you embark on a journey through time across four exhibition levels. And it quickly becomes clear: Much has revolved around wood in the Gesäuse region. Whether you see how timber was transported by land using hand pulls and sledges or simply dive into the world of the woodsmen, raftsmen, timber workers, and charcoal burners.

A little nugget of knowledge on the side: “To raft” means to float timber, referring to the transportation of wood by water. The Silvanum is definitely an experience with its interactive sled and raft ride, as well as a replica of a woodsman’s hut. It doesn’t even have to rain for it to be a highlight on a trip through the Gesäuse.

The 3D cinema on the third floor of the Forestry Museum personally welcomes you to the 3D nature cinema. There, after a wealth of information about wood, you’ll find a crowning conclusion with the world’s first macro 3D film.

Special Exhibition "Forest: Worlds"

The exhibition "Forest: Worlds" impressively addresses the challenges and changes that forests face due to climate change and human use. The museum employs modern methods of communication such as augmented reality, interactive stations, and digital media to engage visitors of all ages with the topic.
