Alpaca & Moor: Experience alpacas up close and learn how to handle them properly in a playful way. Alpacas fascinate young and old with their calm and shy nature. Who will make the first move? The children or the alpacas?
Alpacas impress with their sensitive and delicate nature, which is why they are often used in animal-assisted therapy, education and animal-assisted activities. The alpacas accompany you past moor ditches and the mountain pine forest. Since the animals set a leisurely pace, the hike is also suitable for the little ones. Beware of spitting? This fear is completely unfounded, since alpacas only spit when they feel threatened. The fluffy four-legged animals usually only spit to establish the hierarchy among themselves.
Tip from the Familienausflug.info team: Please leave dogs at home, as alpacas have great respect for the animals.
