Set against the woodland and pasture at Teuto‑Alpakas near Petersberg, this Adventsfeier pairs the quietly curious presence of alpacas with low‑key seasonal rituals: a pasture photo set, shared feeding, a fire for sausages and stockbrot, live guitar carols and a communal Advent buffet in a cosy, heated stall.

Highlights

THE ANIMALS

Friendly alpacas at the centre of the celebration

The event keeps the alpacas close — guests meet and feed the animals on the pasture and can pose at a dedicated seasonal photo spot with props, making the animals the constant, calming presence of the program.

THE ATMOSPHERE

Fireside carols and communal outdoor rituals

A warm fire in a fire bowl creates the focal point outdoors: non‑alcoholic Glühwein is offered, guests may roast sausages and stockbrot, and the group sings Christmas songs accompanied by live guitar.

THE COMFORT

A heated, decorated stall and shared Advent buffet

When the weather turns cold, the program moves into a homely, decorated stall heated by two heaters with transparent tarps over the doors; an Advent buffet of brought treats is available for anyone with a sweet tooth.

What the day feels like

What the experience feels like

The two‑hour event unfolds between pasture and stall: an outdoor segment for photographs, animal feeding and a fire with simple camp‑style cooking and live sing‑alongs, then a shift to a warmly decorated, heated barn where guests gather around a communal Advent buffet. The pace is social and relaxed, designed for meeting new people or, by arrangement, celebrating privately with family or colleagues.
