We are talking about the Lake Ledro Pile Dwellings Museum, located in Molina. The museum was created following the discovery of more than 10,000 wooden piles dating back to the Bronze Age, around 4,000 years ago, which emerged from the waters of the lake.<br \/>\nToday, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is much more than a place where history is preserved: it is a fascinating journey through time, where you can walk through a meticulously reconstructed pile-dwelling village and discover how our ancestors lived.<br \/>\nIf you would like to combine days by the lake with an unforgettable cultural experience, here is everything you need to know to plan your visit.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83c\udff9 Summer comes alive with \u201cPalafittando\u201d and the \u201cPalafittiadi\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>One of the museum\u2019s greatest strengths is that you can experience history first-hand! From July to September, Palafittando brings the museum to life with a rich programme of more than 150 summer events, including concerts, interactive guided tours and creative workshops.<br \/>\nThe highlight is the Palafittiadi, the \u201cOlympics of Prehistory\u201d: a day of celebration held in early July, when adults and children form teams and compete in prehistoric activities such as archery, fire-making and weaving.<br \/>\nThroughout the summer, there are also weekly workshops for younger visitors:<br \/>\nThe Pile-Dwellers\u2019 Bread: learn how to grind grains using a stone and bake your own prehistoric bread.<br \/>\nArch Attack: hands-on clay and prehistoric workshops for children aged 5 and over.<br \/>\nMini Prehistory: sensory experiences designed for little ones aged 3\u20136.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83d\udccc Useful information for your visit<\/h3>\n<p>Opening period and hours: The museum is open every day from March to December.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>March to June: 9:00 am \u2013 5:00 pm<\/li>\n<li>July and August: 10:00 am \u2013 6:00 pm<\/li>\n<li>September to December: 9:00 am \u2013 5:00 pm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ticket prices:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Full-price ticket: \u20ac5.00<\/li>\n<li>Reduced ticket (ages 14\u201326 and over 65): \u20ac4.00<\/li>\n<li>Children and young people under 14: Free<\/li>\n<li>Afternoon summer workshops: usually an additional fee of around \u20ac5.00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\ud83d\udc3e Are dogs allowed?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes! Small dogs are welcome inside the museum, provided they are carried or kept in a pet carrier. If you are travelling with a medium-sized or large dog, they can happily accompany you in the outdoor area of the reconstructed pile-dwelling village, where they simply need to be kept on a lead.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83d\udcb3 The great bonus: your Garda Guest Card is included!<\/h3>\n<p>Here is the best part: when you stay at Villaggio Val Molini, you will receive a complimentary Garda Guest Card directly on your smartphone via the Mio Trentino app.<br \/>\nThanks to the card, admission to the Lake Ledro Pile Dwellings Museum is completely free! You will not need to pay an entrance fee and can enjoy free admission. The card also gives you free access to public transport throughout Trentino, as well as discounts or free admission to many other castles, museums and attractions throughout the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Step back into Prehistory: visit the Lake Ledro Pile Dwellings Museum Did you know that just a few minutes from Villaggio Val Molini you can find one of Europe\u2019s most important archaeological sites?
