Wilderness education course

This course consists of six modules that build on each other. The focus of the training is on learning skills for living in the wilderness, such as getting to know and using plants, knowledge about mammals, the art of nature mentoring and training attention and awareness. In addition, important practical skills are also taught, such as making cooking utensils or building shelters.
The training blocks are held at Kalkalpen National Park WildnisCamp. The module in December takes place in the Waldviertel near 3931 Sallingstadt.
