Located in the picturesque region of Lübeck, Schleswig-Holstein, the 2h Alpaka-Wanderung offers a serene escape into nature combined with the delightful company of gentle alpacas. This private two-hour walking tour through a protected nature reserve follows the tranquil banks of the Trave River, providing an immersive experience ideal for nature lovers and families alike. Unlike large group excursions, this intimate hike is limited to small groups of 2 to 10 participants, ensuring a personalized atmosphere where guests can truly connect with these soft-furred animals.
The tour begins at Naturnah-Hof, situated at Resebergweg 31 in Lübeck, a gateway to expansive green spaces and unspoiled habitats. From here, the walk gently winds through scenic trails that weave into the Naturschutzgebiet (nature reserve), culminating in a visit to the nearby Stülper Huk—a quiet riverside spot perfect for soaking in woodlands and river views. The route moves at a relaxed pace, allowing plenty of moments to touch, feed, and form a bond with your alpaca companion. This close interaction sets the experience apart from typical petting zoo visits, offering the rare chance to establish a friendship and enjoy each animal’s unique personalities.
What makes this outing so special is the exclusive "Privatwanderung" style—the group you book is your group only. Without strangers, the guide can offer tailored advice on alpaca behavior and care, enriching your understanding as you wander. This supportive environment makes the hike accessible for a wide age range, although children aged 0-3 must be accompanied by an adult for safety and care reasons.
Beyond its appeal as a family-friendly nature walk, the location itself is noteworthy. Lübeck’s surrounding landscape features mixed forests and riverine habitats characteristic of northern Germany, rich with local flora and fauna. The Trave River has historical significance, once playing a key role in Hanseatic trade routes, adding a subtle cultural dimension to your journey.
Sustainability is a focus for Naturnah-Hof, which promotes conservation of native ecosystems while offering low-impact outdoor experiences. By walking gently through the environment alongside alpacas, visitors support responsible tourism that values natural preservation.
Whether you’re seeking a gentle stroll, a meaningful encounter with wildlife, or a calming break from urban life, the 2h Alpaka-Wanderung in Lübeck’s nature reserve stands out as a memorable adventure.
