Hike
Our alpacas and llamas graze just below Schönecken Castle on a traditional orchard meadow. There, we get to know the animals in a relaxed manner and make our first leading attempts in the pasture. Then our hiking adventure in the nature reserve "Schönecker Schweiz" begins!
Right at the beginning, we hike down into the valley of the Altburgbach. Traditional orchards and the slender silhouettes of juniper bushes accompany us. We follow the Altburgbach, whose bed winds through the forest in countless bends. Finally, we reach a narrow bridge. Will the alpacas and llamas manage to walk down the stairs to the bridge? Will they cross the bridge? Here, you can prove that you have already become good Llameros and Llameras! This is what we call llama guides in the South American Andes!
Now, a steep ascent awaits us: A narrow path winds up the slope. It leads us to a hidden ancient refuge that towers above the Altburgbach on steep rocks. Here, centuries ago, Celts hid when it became too dangerous outside in the open plains. We take a break here for a while. Those who wish can explore the rocks. Surely, we will have ample time to take pictures with the alpacas and llamas. Then we hike back through the fields towards Schönecken and almost at the end of our tour, we arrive at the old castle of Schönecken.
Back at the pasture, we must say goodbye to our faithful companions, the alpacas and llamas.
