Betriebsfeier: Lamas & Schlemmen

Look forward to a varied company party with animal company in Schönecker Schweiz!

Your tour starts and ends directly below the castle ruins of Schönecken on the eifelnomaden pasture. After an entertaining introduction, during which you will get to know the llamas and learn how to lead such an animal, you will set off on your hike into the nature reserve.

Schönecker Schweiz is a little-known but incredibly diverse nature reserve in the southern Eifel. It is characterized by deeply carved valleys with clear streams and wide plateaus. In late fall, the red-golden foliage will enchant you. From the end of November, snow often covers the forests and harvested fields. With the right clothing, your llama hike is a unique experience, because with the cuddly llamas at your side, even cold winter weather is no problem at all!

Right at the start, you head down into the valley of the Altburgbach stream. Orchards and the dark silhouettes of juniper bushes accompany us. Then we climb the "Op Ischt" ridge and let our gaze wander as far as the High Fens. A little later, we enter the beech forest and follow the Schalkenbach stream on its way down to the Nims.

After about an hour's walk, we are there! The quaint crêperie "Nice Corner", located directly on the riverbank, awaits us. Here we can choose between delicious sweet and savory crêpes: Do you fancy a crêpe with chocolate and banana, or cheese and onions? Would you prefer a freshly baked waffle or a delicious sausage? Would you like cocoa, soft drinks or coffee with it? Would you like to warm up with a (non-alcoholic) mulled wine or tea? The choice is yours!

We sit together comfortably for about an hour. Meanwhile, our llamas graze in the adjacent meadow. Then we head back up to Schönecker Schweiz and the ruins of Schönecken Castle. After another hour's walk, we reach our stable again. Now is the time for the ultimate group photo of your animal-themed company party!

To book your company party, simply choose a suitable date and request the tour. There must be at least six of you. From a group size of 10 people upwards, you can request an individual offer from us.

P.S. Alternatively, you can end your company party with a campfire directly at the pasture. Please ask us directly about this too!

Note for employers: If you give your employees our hike in the form of a voucher, the vouchers can be declared as a benefit in kind for tax purposes. The monthly non-cash benefit exemption limit is still 44 euros per month until the end of 2021 and will increase to 50 euros per month from January 2022. If this limit is not yet used for other benefits in kind for employees in the respective month, for example for a gym membership, gifts in kind up to this value can be provided free of tax and social security contributions.

At Christmas or on other occasions, companies can give their employees the gift of time together away from the daily work routine with a company party - and with a llama hike in particular, this is absolutely corona-compliant without the fear of having to cancel the party. The tax-free allowance for company parties is currently 110 euros per employee - twice a year (Section 19 (1) No. 1a EStG). This amount can be used for all costs incurred in connection with the party. In contrast to non-cash benefits, this is an allowance and not a tax-free limit. This means that the 110 euros remain free of tax and social security contributions in any case, even if this value is exceeded per person.
