Hometown in Fall X (The world's oldest fixed carousel!)

The building in the centre is the oldest preserved stationary carousel in the world, built in 1779/1780. Horses and mules once moved the carousel by a mechanism inside the hill on which it is built. After a restoration in 2007-2016, the carousel is now electrically powered and can be ridden on special occasions.
