Geführte Wildbeobachtung für Schulen mit Übernachtung im Naturfründehuus Mettmen

Chamoois, ibex, marmots, ptarmigan or black grouse feel at home in the Freiberg Kärpf, the oldest wildlife sanctuary in Europe. Early in the morning, they particularly like to venture out
their hiding place to look for food or enjoy the first rays of sunshine.

Accompanied by a Freiberg connoisseur, the school classes set off early in the morning in search of animal tracks and, with a bit of luck, observe wild animals. The students learn a lot of interesting facts about the animal shelter, the wildlife reserve, plants and the region.

The game observation lasts about 4 hours. Pure walking time about 2.5 hours. Appropriate fitness and surefootedness are required.
