In this Lakeside Village, you immerse yourself in the Stone Age and learn more about the lifestyle of our ancestors through demonstrations and workshops. Far from being a dull history lesson!
The Lakeside Village in Gletterens organizes numerous events and workshops related to prehistory and the way of life of the first farmers who settled on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel (4500-800 BC).
You will discover artisanal techniques from the early days and create your own flint knife, a pendant or a prehistoric fat lamp. Learn the art of fire-starting or test your skills in spear throwing with the spear thrower – a hunting technique that was already used in prehistoric times.
You also have the opportunity to stroll through the village and enjoy the magic that emanates from its reed-thatched houses. If you wish to extend your stay, you can sleep on-site in tipis or mesolithic leather tents. This way, you can enjoy the unique atmosphere of this special place well into the evening hours.
