Llama and Alpaca Adventure for Children's Birthday Parties

Children's hike

We welcome you at the entrance gate to the llama pasture. Our llamas and alpacas graze near the Schönecken castle ruins on an orchard meadow. After a brief introduction, you will learn interesting facts about the lives of llamas: Where do these animals actually come from? How do you lead a llama or alpaca?

Then we go together to the paddock, where the llamas and alpacas are already waiting curiously. Here you get to know our llamas more closely. The calm nature of the animals gives you plenty of time for this. The llamas and alpacas are very patient and gentle when handled. At the paddock, we make our first attempts at leading them.

Depending on the age and interests of the children and youth, we stay on the fenced pastures or go hiking in the nature reserve:

For children up to 12 years old, we set up an obstacle course. All the children walk together from the paddock to the course and complete it together at first. Afterwards, the teams start individually, with each child taking a turn as a llama leader. The course includes, for example, a slalom and a low gate under which the llamas should walk. Do the llamas dare to go through a flutter curtain? How about the small bridge: Do all the llamas stay on the narrow crossing? These tasks require teamwork and mutual support from both children.

With children and youths aged 12 and up, we go on a hike in the nature reserve. Here, two children/youths share one llama or alpaca. We adapt the route to the age and fitness of the children.

After returning to the paddock, the animals are unhaltered and allowed to graze in the pasture. We end the day with a joint knowledge quiz, where at the end the llama driving license can be earned. Depending on the chosen option, the birthday may conclude with a campfire.
