Nature & Culture

With the ponies Joy and Lulu and the Bernese mountain dogs, Eddie and Muna, the campers will learn to relate to and care for the animals, experiencing the importance of body language in human-animal relationship.

For the campers who are interested, there’s a chance to visit to the Archaeological Museum in Bolzano to see the permanent exhibition of Ötzi, the 5,300-year-old “Iceman”, a glaciar mummy from the Copper Age/late Neolithic .  He was discovered in the Italian Alps in 1991 remarkably well-preserved along with his clothing, tools and weapons. This exceptional discovery in the Schnalstal Valley (Val Senales) has brought us unique information on Alpine life in the Copper Age.

There are visits to the Paneveggio Park, a paradise in the Dolomites located a few kilometers from the camp.  It is a great place for walking in the mountains and discovering nature and the famous Forest of Violins.  This is where world-renowned violin maker, Antonio Stradivari would get wood to craft his acoustically superior, resonant violins.

We’ll have to create an amazing t-shirt using an ancient method of dyeing fabrics, will talk about the meaning of colors and shapes to achieve such a truly t-shirt “and our unique”!
