Guided wildlife tour at Mettmen-Alp | 16.10.26

On a morning discovery tour with a local guide in the oldest wildlife sanctuary in Europe, the Freiberg Kärpf

On a morning discovery tour, a window opens into the fascinating world of native animals. In a small group, forest and meadows are explored, tracks are read and, with a bit of luck, chamois, deer or birds can be observed. Along the way, the local guide will tell you exciting facts about the Freiberg Kärpf, its plants and animal inhabitants.

The excursion lasts about 4 hours, of which about 2.5 hours are pure walking time. Good fitness and surefootedness are required.
