Forest Café

TAKE A BREATH at our atmospheric forest café!

In the spring of 2024, six adorable alpacas arrived in the café’s yard: Tyko, Enzo, Isac, Lionell, Jackpot, and a little later Fransu will join the group. We let the animals adjust to their new environment peacefully, and we kindly ask you to do the same!

You can admire the animals from outside the enclosure. However, please do not feed them anything, and keep your dogs on a leash throughout your visit. Once the animals have settled in, we can get to know the alpacas together more closely!

In the summer, the forest café offers, among other things, ice cream, products from Karvila Brewery, refreshing drinks from Rahula Ranch, savory and sweet waffles.

Welcome!
