Along with presenting researched information, reconstructions and authentic Stone Age antiquities, the village also lets visitors try their hand at paddling a dugout canoe or making artefacts of Stone Age type. The campfires are burning in front of the huts, the canoes are on the shore, and the harpoons and nets are in their stands waiting to be used...
