Discover the "Bread Road" - from grain to table!
The Bread Path is an educational program that is adaptable to participants of all ages. During the program, visitors participate in the bread baking process, in rituals honoring bread, and in tasting ancient dishes. The environment created to resemble an authentic 19th-century peasant farm in our region, the folk music band, the clothing, actions, and language of the activity leader illustrate the traditions and customs that existed in peasant households. Participants can not only observe the bread baking process, but also participate in it: they form their own loaves of kneaded bread, bake them, and take their own bread with them from the activity. While the bread is baking, participants are introduced to the long journey of bread - from sowing rye to placing the baked loaf on the table, they see the oldest land cultivation and grain processing tools, ancient tools, those who wish can try to thresh rye with a flail, grind it with stone millstones, hear stories about the belief in the magical power of bread, which determines the harvest, human and family life. They are taught ancient songs, dances, and games. With the help of a multimedia film and presentation of ancient tools, students are given the opportunity to become active participants in the program, not observers. They can compare what the bread-baking work was like, what tools were used in ancient times with modern bread-baking work and tools.
