Farm:

Working with animals is a very special pleasure for all generations. We would like to share what it means to take responsibility for our furry friends. Chickens, goats, sheep and cute mini ponies look forward to a visit to the mini farm. The farm cats also scurry by from time to time and are happy to be stroked lovingly. Families of rabbits and guinea pigs wait in the indoor area, which is heated so that everyone feels really comfortable. The directly adjacent rabbit meadow is the place to be. Regionality, down-to-earthness and closeness to nature are very important to us. The traditional farm garden offers an insight into the diversity of nature.
