THE highlight for families. Farm animals, many information and experience stations, and an easy-to-walk circular route that can be shortened at many places, making it suitable even for very small legs.
The experience trail, which optionally measures twelve kilometers (shortcuts possible at any time), leads through the cultural landscape of the Ill valley and the nature reserve "Valleys of the Ill and its tributaries." On a varied hiking trail passing numerous farms with meadows and pastures, families with their children can experience country air again and get close to farm animals. Both big and small hikers can learn much about agriculture. Informatively designed theme boards await eager wanderers. Beautiful, quiet picnic spots in a former quarry or under old oaks invite visitors to linger. On sensory benches, hikers can take breaks and relax their minds.
The highlight of the hiking trail is certainly the village and show dairy "Hirztaler," where "premium cheese" is produced from 180,000 liters of milk from regional farmers. This corresponds to an annual production of 18,000 kg of cheese. Production can be increased to 300,000 liters of milk, that is 30,000 kg of cheese. The production of soft cheese, Illsiter® in the style of Tilsiter, and hard cheese in the style of mountain cheese is planned. At the show dairy, visitors can not only watch the cheesemaker at work but also make cheese themselves by appointment. Courses and seminars are also planned for a later date. In a professionally equipped media room, one can trace the product cheese back to the animal. There will be demonstration films for adults, but also child-friendly films for children. The building also houses the office of the Saarland regional group of the "Society for the Preservation of Old and Endangered Domestic Breeds (GEH)" and the "Association of Part-Time Farmers."
