12 reasons for a farm holiday

Helping out with the stable work yourself or looking over the farmer's wife's shoulder while she cooks, enjoying the view and the silence while the farmer collects the hay in the meadow next door... Why everyone should try it out:

1. secluded location on the mountain

Many Tyrolean farms are idyllically situated on the mountain, where the road ends and you have a unique view over the valley.

2. plenty of fresh air

You can only find fresher mountain air than on a farm - *cough* cow dung included.

3. cats, cats, cats (and kittens!)

A farm is the perfect place to collect enough "cat content" for the next year.

4. the people

Farmer Elisabeth Maaß from Sagenschneider's herb farm is known for her many herbs, Annemarie Fritz from Pechhof gives her guests enthusiastic harp lessons - each farm is run by interesting people who pass on a wealth of knowledge and life experience to their guests.

5. fresh herbs from the garden

The Tyrolean farmers' wives know the right home remedy for every ailment, and many also make their own teas, schnapps and soothing baths.

6. best Tyrolean recipes

Here you can get all the recipes and tips from the farmer's wife for the perfect Tyrolean cheese dumplings or a delicious Melchermuas.

7. no alarm clock necessary

You can safely leave your smartphone switched off on the farm; the farm's own rooster takes care of the wake-up call.

7. fresh eggs, collected from the barn yourself

And if you're already awake, you can even get your own breakfast egg from the barn.

9. nature as a wellness area

You can safely leave your smartphone switched off on the farm; the farm's own rooster takes care of the wake-up call.

10th tractor ride

A small reward for helping out on the farm: a tractor ride!

11. the best of the best on the table

You won't be able to get enough of the delicious farm produce: Bread, jam, butter, yoghurt, milk, eggs, meat, bacon,...

12. animals to touch

Domestic pig "Schnuffelwuffel", Shetland stallion "Willi", dwarf goats "Max and Moritz" and many more are already waiting!
