Once you have been there, it is no surprise that the Lombards chose the M\u00fchlenberg hill in Zethlingen as a place to live and work: a special, almost magical and certainly very strategic location \u2013 and a great destination for the whole family, especially on workshop days (see dates below). Whether excavations, archery, flatbread baking, copper smithing, leatherwork, pottery and much more, the very dedicated members of the association go to great lengths to explain and show the life of the Lombards to every interested visitor. Food and drink are provided on these days too. And after the tastiest flatbread ever, with a delicious Lombard soup (a stew of lentils and peas) and a big sip of mead (honey wine) &#8230; dear friends, these &#8220;long beards&#8221; didn&#8217;t have such a bad life after all. Coffee and sheet cake are also available, and there is plenty of parking. &gt;&gt;&gt; Note: dogs are allowed on a lead. Food and drink are provided on workshop days.
