A six-month journey of discovery into the world of the oak tree! 🌳 Together, we accompany this special tree through autumn, winter, and spring. We observe, explore, marvel, play, and create—and time and again, we turn our attention to the oak as a habitat for plants, animals, and us humans. These nature experiences are designed for children aged 4 and up, who take part together with an adult they hold dear. In a small, regular group, we spend 16 sessions outdoors in nature and experience how the world around the oak changes over the course of the seasons.

Fire has a very special magic and appeal. Imagine how it feels when you and your family manage to light the warming flames without a lighter or matches, and then admire the dance of the flames together. On the unique grounds of Satzvey Castle, you can explore the fascination of fire and try out different techniques in a safe setting. We’ll give you tips on choosing the right tinder and building the fire properly, so you’re sure to succeed. Afterwards, you can enjoy your fiery success with crispy stick bread and gripping stories against the backdrop of the fairytale castle.

On this day, we will explore the basics of various carving techniques, then carve something Christmas-themed: small gifts in a cozy group setting. Includes the program, materials, tools, lunch, and instruction. Carving knives brought along must have a fixed or lockable blade.

Who doesn’t know this? As a child, you love hiding—and where is it especially fun? In your own little den! Now imagine that this den could be built in such a way that it not only hides you, but also keeps you warm!<\/p> We’ll spend the day together outdoors in nature, exploring shelter, fire, food, and tools in harmony with natural resources. Following the “Leave no trace” principle, we’ll gather materials together for a leaf shelter that can protect us in any weather. Then, in small groups, we’ll build different types of shelters. In between and afterwards, we’ll warm up and enjoy some refreshments around the campfire, with homemade winter punch, baked apples, and much more! Let yourselves be a little surprised.<\/p> This activity is for families with children aged 6 and up. It doesn’t matter whether the accompanying family members are a mum, dad, aunt, uncle, sister, brother, or grandparents. The program is designed to bring generations together. If younger siblings (under 6) will be attending, please get in touch beforehand.<\/p>
