Hofmoment

At "Schaf dich glücklich", guests get to know a special group of cuddlers in Marchfeld. Surrounded by nature and birdsong, you can become part of a flock of sheep in a small group for a quiet and mindful break. You get to know the animals at eye level on the pasture and can fully engage with them. It's all about being mindful of the animals - and of yourself. The Valis family's sheep transfer their calmness to the guests and demand their attention. There is no time for everyday worries or other thoughts. Afterwards, you will feel light and calm, just like on Wollke 7, and sweet cuddly photos with your favorite sheep will remind you of this wonderful moment with the animals again and again. Sheep's wool is available for all visitors as an olfactory reminder and, of course, as fertilizer for the flower pots. And there's no need to worry about too much smell - the rams are castrated and don't stink.

Sheep cuddling procedure:

• Mindful guidance by the shepherdess Sabine
• Information about the sheep
• Authentic grazing experience in the middle of the grass
• woolly cuddling experience with the sheep
• Time for a photo memory
• Sheep's wool as a souvenir, drink
• Small group (max. 6 participants)
• Duration approx. 1.5 - 2 hours

We deliberately do not offer a petting zoo experience where the animals are lured or kept. The animals come out of pure curiosity and stay until they have had enough cuddles. The sheep are not slaughtered - they are allowed to lead a peaceful life on the pasture with the Valis family.
