Good food and hiking: a perfect combination! Spend a fun-filled afternoon with our llamas and alpacas in the nature reserve, and refuel along the way with homemade cake and a drink.
Hike
Our two-hour gourmet hike begins and ends right below the Schönecken castle ruins. After an entertaining introduction, during which you’ll get to know the llamas, we’ll set off on our tour through the Schönecker Schweiz nature reserve.
Right at the start, we’ll hike down into the valley of the Altburgbach. Scattered orchards and the dark silhouettes of juniper bushes accompany us. Then we climb the “Op Ischt” ridge and let our gaze wander all the way to the Hohe Venn. A short while later, we enter the beech forest and arrive at a hidden clearing where gentian blooms in late summer. We follow the Schalkenbach as it winds its way down to the Nims and, after about an hour’s hike, reach a seating area right on the riverbank—the perfect spot for a break. Here, we can refuel with delicious homemade cake and enjoy coffee, tea, or cold drinks.
We sit together comfortably for about half an hour. Meanwhile, our llamas and alpacas graze on the adjacent meadow. Then we head back up into the Schönecker Schweiz and to the Schönecken castle ruins. After another hour of hiking, we return to our stable. Here we say goodbye to our faithful companions, the llamas.
