An Entity of Type: amusement park attraction, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The People of Laaf is an attraction in the amusement park Efteling in the Netherlands. It was designed by Ton van de Ven and opened its doors in 1990. It is a small village, called “Lavelaer”, inhabited by the so-called “Laafs” ("Laven" in Dutch). The visitors can walk through the village and enter the houses, among which a bakery, a brewery, a windmill and a nursery and watch the Laafs do their normal daily activities. A monorail of 450 meters in length runs through the village at an altitude of about 3 meters. In the early years, riders had to pedal the monorail. This was discontinued because of the possibility of "crashing" into each other. Furthermore, if a rider stopped pedaling, the ride could be blocked for other visitors.

For the children there are slides and distorting mirrors. Little statues of Laaf people engaged in various activities were for sale in the souvenir shops in Efteling, but also in several garden centres until 2004. * Lot's Kraamhuys * Organ in the Lavenlaar * the Laaf - Monorail * Main entrance of the village * The mill * The nursery (en)

De bewoners van het dorpje Lavenlaar zijn Laven die in kleine huizen wonen die de bezoekers kunnen bekijken. Overal in het Lavenlaar zijn Laven te zien die bezig zijn met hun dagelijkse bezigheden, waaronder bier brouwen, lesgeven en brood bakken. Deze activiteiten zijn te bezichtigen in hun huisjes en in de openlucht bij bomen of aan de oever van een riviertje. Bezoekers lopen door de huisjes, over kleine paadjes, een wankelbrug en stenen in het water en maken op die manier kennis met het leven van de Laven. (nl)
