Kids & Farm Animals
Children's hearts beat faster on our farm: From wild romping on the forest playground, petting farm animals, to carefree swinging, playing football, and digging in the sandbox.
Our holiday-on-the-farm-concern has a large playground at its disposal, for young and old alike. There is a swing, a seesaw, a large sand pit with toys, a football goal with balls, as well as a large wooden trough with water, so that a big sand castle can be built in no time. If there is anyone for whom that is still not enough, take yourself off to the nearby forest.
High up, in some of the trees is a large tree house, waiting to be explored. Alongside it, we have laid out a small stream. Your little ones can give free reign to their imaginations there.
A basketball court with balls invites you to play basketball. That means there are points to collect. Who hits the court every now and then?
In our stable are 10-13 cows and young calves. The animals have to be cared for and fed. Some cows come in summer, to our Alpine meadow on the Pojen Alm at a height of 2.000 m, for invigoration and relaxation. There, they carry out protection of the countryside. After two months in the open countryside, where they have been able to feed from much healthy mountain foliage, they return happily to the farm at the end of August.
The rabbits, cats and goats are the children’s favourite animals and they look forward to every sign of attention and manner of caressing. These animals have to be fed with grass and, perhaps, one or another of our young guests will be lucky enough to be at the farm when young kittens or hares are born. Of course, a suitable name must be decided upon for the young animals and, as each day passes, it can be seen how much bigger and more independent they become.
It will never be boring at the Rieplechn Farm!
Children will experience up close how life on a farm unfolds every day.
