Lama-Wanderung zur Winterzeit (Gruppentour)

When the leaves have fallen from the trees and the days become quite short and cold, our llama winter hike promises an unforgettable experience for young and old alike. With the llamas - who often hum quietly and comfortably to themselves - we stroll leisurely through the nature reserve.

Hiking

The Schönecker Switzerland is a little-known but incredibly diverse nature reserve in the Südeifel. It is characterized by deeply cut valleys with clear streams and wide plateaus. Rare orchids blossom on the valley slopes, and slender junipers grow. By the way, it is named after the gentian, which grows here just like in the Alps. In the beech forests, the ground springs to life in spring with a carpet of March cups and wild garlic. In summer, the broom glows. Narrow hiking trails weave through the area, where you rarely encounter other people.

Our three-and-a-half-hour trekking starts and ends directly below the castle ruins of Schönecken. After an entertaining introduction, during which you get to know the llamas, we set off on our tour into the nature reserve "Schönecker Schweiz".

Right at the beginning, we hike down into the valley of the Altburgbach. Orchards and the slender silhouettes of juniper bushes accompany us. Then we climb the ridge "Op Ischt" and enjoy the expansive views on the plateau. Later, we immerse ourselves in the beech forest and reach a hidden clearing, where we take our first break. Above the Schalkenbach, we continue through the forest on narrow paths. Finally, we arrive at the ancient Celtic fleeing fortress, which towers above the Altburgbach on steep rocks. Here we take another short break and have plenty of time to take photos with the llamas. Then we must descend back into the valley along a narrow path from the rock spur. Following the Altburgbach, we reach our starting point again after about four hours.
