Open Air Museum Rogatec

Object description

The open-air museum is poorly accessible. The accessible parking spots are quite far from the entrance to the open-air museum. The walking path in the open-air museum is not paved (gravel or dirt) and ascends on several sections. The walking path leads to the lookout point along different cultural heritage buildings (Šmit House, winemaker’s house, apiary, smithy, outbuilding, haystack, etc.), which have stairs, high thresholds at the doors that prevent access to wheelchair users. The smaller building for information, ticket purchases and shops and sanitary facilities in the remote museum house are not accessible to people with mobility impairments. The museum has no adaptations for people with sensory impairments.
