Together with the sheep 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, are partners for donkey walks and like to get some attention from the park visitors.

Our curious and crafty friends are already looking forward to company and some extra attention. Together with one of our experienced and sensitive donkey guides you can explore the surroundings of the forest garden together. Those who wish, may become donkey guides themselves. Depending on the donkeys' desire to walk, the walk lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours and leads across the terrain. Should children come along, one adult per child and donkey must be present to help. The path is not well suited for strollers. The donkey walk is offered free of charge. If you like, you can make a small donation to the association. The money will be used to buy material like lead strings and halters for the donkeys.  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.
