Family farm holiday in South Tyrol
Cows and calves in the barn, horses in the meadow, kittens in the hay and fresh eggs for breakfast: at the Übersteinerhof in the Puster Valley children experience farm life up close. Around Kronplatz, swimming lakes, high-rope parks, toboggan runs and plenty of family day trips are waiting too.
A farm with animals: what kids experience
Cows, calves, horses, chickens and cats live at the Übersteinerhof. At feeding time young and old guests are welcome in the barn: children help feed the animals, stroke them or pick up the kittens.
For breakfast there are fresh milk and eggs from the farm, as long as there is enough, and you can pick herbs together in the farm garden. That way children see where their food comes from.
