The world of cows
At the cow stations, children get to experience everyday life on the alpine pasture. They lift milk churns, turn the butter churn and play around the shaded sandpit. Afterwards, the fun continues with cowbells, Memory and milk bottle skittles.
Sheep-themed fun
The sheep stations show how wool is harvested and processed. Marble runs explain the topic in a fun way. On the wobbly sheep, children practise their balance and build their confidence – whilst getting plenty of exercise.
Alpenkräuter, Bienen und Bergblumen
In the interactive flower field, children can discover plants, bees and herbs from the Alps. Herb spirals invite them to smell and touch the plants. If you look closely, you’ll find that some of these herbs later end up on your plate at Nova Stoba.
