A ride in a donkey-drawn carriage is pure relaxation - especially here in Erlbach in the Bavarian Holzland, near Alt\u00f6tting. Together with our two donkeys Lola and Sancho, you'll travel at a leisurely pace through the countryside, far away from the stress of everyday life and very close to nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may already know Lola and Sancho from our donkey hikes in the mountains or around our farm. There they show time and again how sure-footed and reliable they are on narrow paths and steeper passages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, they are real character animals: curious, strong-willed and with a keen sense for good food - which is exactly what makes spending time with them so special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don't set the pace on the donkey carriage - Lola and Sancho comfortably set the pace. This invites you to take a deep breath, consciously perceive your surroundings and simply arrive in the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Families, couples and small groups in particular appreciate this time out because they can be outdoors a lot without much effort and enjoy the tranquillity of the countryside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Donkeys are often regarded as stubborn, but they are above all very clever and safety-conscious. They scrutinise every situation carefully and ask themselves at every step: Do I really have to do this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyone who manages to work harmoniously with a donkey shows inner clarity, calm and willpower. Good and clear body language, patience and friendliness are more important than loud commands - then the donkey will become a wonderful partner at your side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It takes a lot of persuasion and consistency to train our donkeys. They scrutinise every new step and want to understand whether we really mean it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once trust has been built up, Lola and Sancho go on tour with the carriage with visible joy. For Manfred, every donkey-drawn carriage ride is a piece of lived friendship between man and animal - and this joy is quickly transferred to everyone who comes along for the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
