In the Realm of Animals

There's a lot going on with animals here: Many animals have a loving home and look forward to being petted by our guests.

Here you will find: rabbits, chickens, sheep, goats, piglets or horses.

Our petting zoo is always freely accessible and can be explored either together with the children's club team or individually.

Life is a pony farm

Pony riding with childcare

A holiday on the farm only becomes truly unforgettable for children with ponies.

From April to October, our popular pony riding takes place three times a week – always on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays – as part of the childcare program.

Our horses – an Arabian-Haflinger, four Haflingers, an Appaloosa, and a pony – are already looking forward to meeting you.
