Donkeys

Our donkey family consists of the two ladies Brauni and Knospe and the lead animal and father of all the small donkeys - Peppo. In 2021 Flocke and Rosi were born and in August 2022 the two youngest members of the family: Lilly and Basil. The seven donkeys have an imporant task. Together with the sheep and goats they care for the garden and feed on the black cherry. This invasive plant has rather bitter leaves and twigs that dear and other native forest animals don't eat. So thanks to our animals, the black cherry is kept in check and ecologically important native plants can develop.

Additionally, our donkeys protect the sheep and goats, are partners for donkey walks and like to get some attention from the park visitors.

Donkey walk

We offer individual guided donkey walks that are booked through our website.

Our curious and clever friends are already looking forward to getting some attention. Together with one of our donkey guides you can roam through the surroundings of the landscape park. If you like, you can lead a donkey yourself. The walks last between one and three hours and are a bit cross-country. Please book your donkey walk on our website (events - donkey walks). If you'd like to do a donkey walk on another date, just write an email with your preferred dates and we'll see if we can make it possible.

How to feed us right

Donkeys

Donkeys are desert animals and therefore good feed converters which mean they don't need a lot of food. Too much or wrong feed can make them fat or lead to colics or hoof diseases. They mostly eat hay and straw, bark, sticks and twigs and - as a special treat and only in moderation - a carrot or an apple.
