The Schraden landscape offers a habitat with high biodiversity. The water buffalos that wallow in the mud here make an important contribution to the preservation of the landscape. If you drive through Val Gardena, you can buy products from the water buffalo in the Schradenfrucht GmbH farm shop. More information at: www.schradenfrucht.de

Interesting to see how such a herd of water buffalo rise from the mud bath and trot to the feeding place. And if you get an appetite, you can get it here after the sausage: https://www.schradenfrucht.de/wasserbueffel
