Die Meckerei

Animal-assisted activities with goats & co

The Meckerei, a unique adventure farm on the Bisamberg, just 3 km from Vienna, offers sustainable and positive encounters between humans and animals. The focus here is on promoting interactions with goats, be it through goat walks, relaxation days or yoga sessions on the goat pasture. A central principle of Meckerei is that 'animal-assisted' always means 'animal-protected'. The welfare of the animals is the top priority here, which is why all animals are kept slaughter-free and careful handling is encouraged. The Meckerei goats are used to interacting with people and are seen as leisure and relationship partners. They are well behaved and know that people do not spar with them. The Meckerei offers a unique experience that is based on voluntariness and gives visitors a feeling of security and welcome in the midst of a herd. The activities on offer range from team building to yoga with goats and goat trekking. A visit to the Meckerei is more than just a petting zoo experience, it's a chance to experience the tranquillity that a natural goat herd exudes.
