Yoga + hiking + donkeys for young and old

We invite you to get to know the principle of active relaxation through attention training with us. We will practise this through body and mind exercises in a small, individual group (max. 8 participants). In our biologically renovated, 350-year-old half-timbered house with its own guest rooms, kitchen, yoga room, library, outdoor log sauna, natural garden with roofed shed, we have an environment ready for you that will enable you to strengthen your life forces.

Instead of "letting your soul dangle", we will give you suggestions on how to train the powers of the soul (thinking, feeling, willing) so that you can shape your everyday life with vigor and a supporting thought will accompany you in everything you undertake.

A special highlight of this offer is meeting and spending time together with "Giselle" and "Lotta", two wonderful donkey ladies.

We would like to offer this retreat not only for adults but also for families who are interested in yoga, hiking and working with donkeys. We are not interested in a one-off donkey ride or a short hike, but in the slow, conscious development of a relationship between humans and animals. The donkeys react very sensitively to our nature and the attitude we adopt towards them, so that we also learn a lot about ourselves during these 5 days.

Rest and relaxation will then be a natural result of this relationship work.

We will plan the organization of the day together with you, but there will always be 2 yoga sessions for the adults and, if you are interested, a yoga session for the children and, if you like, daily care, grooming and short or longer walks with the donkeys.

Basically, we think that our offer is interesting for children aged 8-12 years, but after consultation they can also be older (up to 18) or a little younger (but school children).

We have 4 double rooms and 4 single rooms (one of which is a Tinyhouse), so that we can work with a maximum of 8 adults or 6 adults and 4-5 children.

The price quoted below is for one adult.
1 child costs an additional 150,- Euro (incl. everything)

We have a total of 6 rooms or caravans.
The guest room "Norway", with a double bed, is approx. 30 square meters in size and has its own separate bathroom.
The guest room "Mexico" with double bed is about 20 square meters and has an integrated bathroom
The "Allgäu" guest room with two single beds is approx. 25 m² in size. Shower and WC are in the hallway.

Prices for the retreat (incl. accommodation and meals, there are no additional costs):

The rooms with shared bathroom cost: 520,- Euro for a single room and 490,- Euro for a double room

Please indicate the room type and whether you would like a single or double room in your request.
Experience has shown that the single rooms with bathroom are the most popular, so it would also be helpful for us to know what is an alternative.
