Goat experience - Curious and adorable animals
Susi, Strolchi, Sissi and Sunny - our bleating goat quartet loves visitors! Together with our child carers, children can feed, stroke and observe the goats as part of the weekly programme. They learn all about how to interact with these lively and social animals in a fun way.
Red deer watching - pure nature since 1983
Our red deer enclosure has been part of the Höflehner nature experience for over 40 years. On 7 hectares above the hotel, our red deer live in harmony with nature - observable and impressive. Together with the Nature Hero Kids or with the whole family, you can go wildlife watching in the weekly programme - binoculars included!
Every Monday at 16:00: Our game feeding - a real nature highlight! Watch how deer compete for food or how curious bambis take their first steps.
