The route from Farm Gradišnik leads you through the peaceful Carinthian countryside towards Strojna, where a special experience awaits on the sunny slopes – meeting the alpacas at Alpaka Hill. As soon as you arrive, you feel a different rhythm: the gentle gaze of these calm animals, the silence of nature, and the sense of stepping into a place where you can simply slow down. With their curious yet peaceful nature, alpacas quickly create a connection that never feels forced, but happens naturally.
A visit here is not just about looking around – it is an experience that brings together contact with the animals and a deeper understanding of their world. Walks among or alongside the alpacas take place in small groups, allowing for a calm and authentic experience without crowds. The hosts make sure you get to know their way of life, character, and special features, while also maintaining a respectful distance that keeps the animals comfortable. Every moment here feels therapeutic – as if nature itself gently quiets the mind.
