Kleine Lama-Wanderung (individuell)

In this enjoyable discovery, only you and your guide are on the way. The approximately two-and-a-half-hour hike takes you through the forests and over the meadows in the nature reserve "Schönecker Schweiz," where we customize the exact route according to your wishes.

Llama Hike

Our llamas and alpacas graze in a mixed orchard meadow right below Schönecken Castle. There, we’ll get to know the animals in a relaxed setting and learn how to lead these patient and curious creatures. Then our hiking adventure begins in the “Schönecker Schweiz” nature reserve!

Right from the start, we hike down into the valley of the Altburgbach stream. Orchard meadows and the slender silhouettes of juniper bushes accompany us. We follow the Altburgbach, whose bed winds through the forest in countless switchbacks. After a while, hidden among the mighty beech trunks, we spot a towering rock: perched atop it is an ancient refuge fortress.
Here, a steep climb awaits us: a narrow path winds its way up the slope all the way to the cliff’s edge. Many centuries ago, Celts took refuge in this hill fort when conditions out on the open plains became too dangerous. We’ll take a break here for a while. Anyone who’d like to can explore the rocks. We’ll certainly have plenty of time to take photos with the llamas and alpacas.
A short while later, we reach the “Op Ischt” plateau and enjoy the sweeping view all the way to the High Fens. Starting in the spring, rare, protected plant species such as orchids grow on the slopes of the plateau. A final highlight of our hike is the Schönecken castle ruins, built in the 13th century and recently restored.
Once back at the pasture, we’ll have to say goodbye to our faithful companions, the llamas and alpacas.
