Beautiful property, which is unfortunately only partially accessible at the moment due to a construction site.

Lots of friendly animals. Goats, deer and even wild boars can be petted if you are careful and not afraid of being bitten. But PLEASE DO NOT FEED IT! If these lines are there, there is probably a reason for it. And no, just because the animals eat our dry bread and probably love it, it doesn't necessarily mean it's good for them. So please take it seriously for the sake of the animals.
