The outdoor area was designed with many interesting and illustrative exhibits. Among them is the rustic press house where the mystical Abacus is stored, a bee house and an orchard with old apple varieties was also created. Inside, there is a permanent exhibition where you can learn a lot about apples and fruit growing in general. The great importance of the apple in art, mythology, religion and customs is also highlighted, as are plant protection, hail defense, processing, marketing, transport and harvesting. The museum presents "The Apple Through the Ages", from the Neolithic (Stone Age) to the 20th century. It describes the first prehistoric apple finds, traditions from Roman times to the Migration Period. In the special exhibition "The Secrets of the Apple Men" in the "Haus des Apfels", the mysterious apple men provide insight into their daily activities up to their philosophy of life.
