Animal Village.

A farm is a place where time stands still for a while. As the world moves at a fast pace, here many things are still done in the same way as they always have been. In close contact with animals, by hand in the fields, outside in nature. No time for TV or looking at a phone screen. The farm is always about the here and now. And it’s the same with any holiday with us on our farm in Austria. Out and about, getting muddy, jumping in puddles, stroking the animals, letting off steam. Exactly what kids need because that’s what being a child is all about – how it should be, without any distractions - simply letting go.

During a holiday at the Familiengut Burgstaller by Lake Millstatt, you can gain an insight into rural living and life on the farm. At the Animal Village, you will encounter various animals such as hares, goats, alpacas and mini ponies. In the riding arena, you can hop on horseback yourself and cuddle the five mini-Shetland ponies - Sneakers, Twix, Viola, Sunny and Fuchsi. Children are always excited when Adi Burgstaller takes them on a tractor ride and little ones always enjoy helping with the potato harvest, collecting berries and picking apples and pears from the trees. Of course, the little ones can eagerly help us on the farm – your child will be so proud if it can join the daily work on the farm!
