Mountain forest, hay, and flower meadow (3 days)

Group enjoying a snack after mowing the scythe.

Your alpine weekend in the national park
Old knowledge rediscovered

Fri 19 - Sun 21 June 2026

In our world, it is sometimes good to pause for a moment and reflect on the original. At a special place in the middle of the national park, we rediscover old knowledge - from craft skills to traditional cuisine and a mindful approach to nature. While mowing the scythe, cooking herbs or baking in the wood-fired oven, we experience how fulfilling it is to create things with your own hands and draw strength from nature. What you learn here will continue to grow - in your garden, your home and in yourself.

What awaits you
- Try out old skills: Mowing scythes, turning meadows, drying hay
- Herbal cuisine: prepare delicious snacks, make herb butter and herb salt
- Make your own yoghurt and syrup, bake grandma's apple pie in the wood-fired oven
- Old household knowledge: Making natural detergents, spinning sheep's wool
- Pure national park: hikes through the forest wilderness, finding favorite spots, coming to rest
