A family pack full of moments of happiness

Adventure is at home on a Carinthian farm: feeding chickens, stroking rabbits, milking cows, picking berries, chasing dogs and watching goats with the goat. Join us on a journey back in time to adventure land. Uncover treasures with us. Awaken memories of blooming meadows, crystal-clear lakes and cold mountain streams. The sunset, tests of courage and first love. Feel the taste of childhood. All this is Farm holidays in Carinthia.

For horse lovers, rabbit sitters and cat moms

Children benefit twice over from animals on vacation. Firstly, stroking soft fur is good for the mind. Secondly, it strengthens the immune system. And anyway, Carinthia's vacation farms are made for children.

Animals have educational value

Experiencing animals up close is always included in the vacation package on the family farms and on the specially designed baby and children's holiday farms. In the petting zoo, rabbits, cats and dwarf goats are waiting to be cuddled. Hard-working children can lend a hand feeding the calves or mucking out the barn. Or take on real responsibility. At the Haberzettl vacation farm in Grades, for example. Every child on vacation there gets their own foster animal for the duration of their stay. Farmer Hildegard Seidl: "The child is then responsible for feeding, stroking and caring for the animal. Simply for loving them." An educationally valuable vacation experience, because the little ones learn to fulfill obligations and build up a special relationship with the animal.

Equipped for children

Boredom? There's no such thing, the baby and children's farms don't bear their name for fun and games. Here you are well equipped for what little people want. A playground with at least three pieces of equipment or a playroom or play corner for every age group are standard. The traffic-safe location also promises a relaxing vacation, especially for parents. All children's farms are completely childproof and offer adequate facilities such as cribs, high chairs, seesaws, baby monitors, changing tables, baby baths, bottle warmers and walking schools. Of course, there are also facilities for preparing baby food, washing, drying and ironing clothes. From children's, equestrian or organic farms to farms by the lake or with their own swimming pond - Farm holidays in Carinthia are as varied and genuine as country life itself. If you want to get up high, Carinthia's alpine huts are the right place to stay. Self-catering huts between 900 and 2000 meters above sea level.

Healthy ambience

Quite apart from that, a vacation with animals is healthy. A study by the British University of Southampton showed that children who grow up on farms where animals are also kept have 60 percent fewer allergies than children who have no contact with animals. In short: Farm holidays can give children's immune systems a boost. And the good, clean country air does the rest.
