Providing babies’ bottles and<br />
child seats is no longer enough:<br />
Austria’s hoteliers strive to provide the<br />
equipment and ideas to give parents<br />
and children a fabulous holiday. The<br />
most exciting adventures still take place<br />
in the countryside or on the farm.<br />
At the hands-on farm in Pinzgau near<br />
Salzburg, children can milk cows and<br />
ride ponies or get to know rabbits and<br />
goats in the pets’ corner. At Sporthotel<br />
Beck in Vorarlberg the “young farmers”<br />
help in the stables, feed the animals or<br />
even experience with some joy how a<br />
calf comes into the world. In Wildkogel<br />
holiday arena an adventure day on the<br />
farm is combined with exciting hikes<br />
under the leadership of an experienced<br />
National Park ranger. The mini-trappers<br />
discover interesting aspects of the<br />
natural world, and hunt for legendary<br />
treasure. Treasure hunts are one of the<br />
most popular activities for children – in<br />
the Habachtal near Salzburg they seek<br />
emeralds, whilst in Obervellach in<br />
Carinthia they tirelessly pan for gold.<br />
