They not only get to know the ways in which he walked, but also the houses in which he lived. The comparison between Busch's depictions and today's views shows the great changes as well as what has been preserved over time. Reproductions of Busch's drawings and paintings are set up in the villages, so that this comparison between the past and the present is only possible.
