Hochsauerland Alpakas
Discover the peaceful joy of a guided alpaca hike through Hochsauerland’s scenic woods and meadows, perfect for nature lovers and curious explorers alike. Learn about these gentle animals, capture beautiful photos, and enjoy a calming outdoor experience.
Hochsauerland Alpakas is a family-run alpaca farm near Winterberg in Nordrhein-Westfalen that offers guided alpaca experiences for visitors of all ages. The business specializes in slow-paced, nature-focused activities that introduce participants to alpacas, their behaviour, and care.
Guided Alpakawanderung treks last approximately 60–90 minutes and follow scenic routes through woods and meadows, with planned photo stops and opportunities to buy alpaca products after the walk. Seasonal Alpaka-Glühweinwanderung events combine a cozy warm drink with the same 60–90 minute scenic walk and include snacks and a chance to meet the animals up close.
Creative workshops such as Weihnachtsbaumkugel-Filzen mit Alpakawolle provide a hands-on experience crafting a fluffy Christmas tree ornament from alpaca wool; these events include a warm welcome with drinks, interaction with alpacas, and are limited to 14 participants. All activities are conducted on the farm’s grounds around Winterberg and focus on animal welfare, gentle handling, and small-group experiences.
Photographs and educational commentary are part of most walks to help visitors learn about alpacas and the local landscape. Visitors can browse a selection of alpaca products on site after tours. Reservations are recommended, especially for seasonal events and limited-capacity workshops. Hochsauerland Alpakas positions itself as a reliable choice for a tranquil, family-friendly outdoor experience in the Sauerland region.
