Dauerausstellung "DIE ZILLE"

Waldkirchen, Upper Austria

ausstellungmuseumstour

"Die Zille" expands the offerings at Hotel & Seminarkultur an der Donau. Already in the planning phase of the hotel in Wesenufer, the integration of a permanent exhibition on the topic of wooden Zille (flat-bottomed boat) construction was envisioned. Now, after the second construction phase, in which the hotel was expanded and part of the old building was renovated, the exhibition could be realized. The planning, implementation, and opening of the exhibition took place in cooperation with the municipality of Waldkirchen, the Hotel & Seminarkultur an der Donau, the Donau Oberösterreich advertising association, and the Association of Boatmen from the Upper Danube Valley. "Die Zille" illuminates the role of Zille and wooden boat building in history and the present, shows interesting models of wooden boats and the tools with which they are made. The Hotel & Seminarkultur an der Donau will also incorporate the exhibition into its future offering development. In addition to an overnight stay or a seminar at the hotel, guests can also visit the permanent exhibition and cycle along the new section of the Danube Cycle Path between Wesenufer and the Schlögener Schlinge to the workshops of the last Zille builders Witti and Königsdorfer. The exhibition can also be interesting for guests traveling on a boat trip on the Danube, as the Wesenufer boat landing stage is located directly next to the hotel.
