WildernessCamp for adults (3 days)

Time out in the World Heritage Site
We spend an inspiring time together in the midst of nature: for leisurely hikes, to get to know new skills, for nice conversations. Our digital world is completely off the air. We go in search of the lynx in the national park and discover ancient beech forests in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Back at camp, we enjoy our home-cooked meal around the campfire, where we also spend our evenings in good company. Sunday ends with a lively lunch buffet at the Villa Sonnwend National Park Lodge.

Meeting point: Friday, 2 p.m. Villa Sonnwend National Park Lodge. Onward journey in carpools.
Time & duration: 3 days (Friday 2 pm to Sunday 1 pm). Followed by lunch together at Villa Sonnwend (included in the price).
Contribution: Package price € 399,- per person

About me
I have been traveling in the Northern Limestone Alps since my earliest youth and am particularly interested in the secret corners and old paths in the area, the exciting stories about the historical use and the amazing large and small connections in our nature.

Why did I become a ranger?
The opportunities to share this knowledge with my guests in appropriate doses, thereby contributing to an increased understanding of nature, a greater enthusiasm for nature and active nature conservation, are the most important reasons why I became a National Park Ranger.
