holidays with children.<br />

Treasure-seekers<br />

and buffalo hunters<br />

We have come up with all sorts of ideas for children<br />

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 />

What a thrill if a tiny nugget of gold is<br />

actually caught in the sieve. One of the<br />

best “playgrounds” for children is water.<br />
