FAMILY TIME IN THE WINTER FOREST

25th December 2025 | 1st January 2026 and weekly from 5th to 26th February 2026 - Niedernsill

Walk through the winter forest with eyes wide open: gather knowledge, read tracks, get hands-on. Depending on the weather, you'll either dive into the world of the spruce, discover how this healing tree is used, and mix a spruce resin salve together with Theresa. Or you'll head out on an exciting search in the snow: get to know the forest animals, read their tracks, and create imaginative land art from natural materials. Whether spruce lore or animal footprints - there'll be exploring, laughter and discovery: an experience for the whole family.
