Lamawanderung Teamausflug (halbtägig)

Look forward to a varied and unforgettable hike as a team! Enjoy time outdoors, far away from your desk and the daily grind. Experience nature together with the fluffy llamas, which you will lead in pairs. Even if you don't usually have much contact with animals, you're sure to quickly take these peaceful and curious animals with their big googly eyes to your heart. Llamas are very easy to lead because they are herd animals. This gives you plenty of time during the hike (and of course during the breaks) to chat and enjoy the day.

Your tour begins 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 together with your guide.

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. Rare orchids bloom and slender junipers grow on the valley slopes. Incidentally, it owes its name to the gentian, which grows here just as it does in the Alps. In spring, the ground in the beech forests is a carpet of spring snowflakes and wild garlic. In summer, the broom shines. Narrow hiking trails criss-cross the area, where you rarely meet other people.

Right at the start, we hike down into the valley of the Altburgbach stream. Orchards and the slender silhouettes of juniper bushes accompany us. We then climb the "Op Ischt" ridge and enjoy the sweeping views of the plateau. Later, we enter the beech forest and reach a hidden clearing where we take our first break. We continue above the Schalkenbach stream, through the middle of the forest on narrow paths. Finally, we reach the ancient Celtic fortress perched on steep rocks above the Altburgbach stream. We take another short break here and have plenty of time to take photos with the llamas. Then we have to take a narrow path from the rocky spur back down into the valley. Following the Altburgbach stream, we reach our starting point again after around four hours.

To book your team event, 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.

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.

In addition, companies can give their employees the gift of time together away from the daily work routine with a company party - and especially with a llama hike, which 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.
