Close Encounter: An Hour Among 25 Alpacas at Ennerthof.
On the fields around Ennerthof in Arnsberg you can spend an intimate hour with a herd of 25 alpacas, each participant led by their own animal as the group walks the meadow, learns about alpaca care and behaviour, and enjoys an up-close chance to pet, feed and photograph these gentle animals.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Twenty-five alpacas, one for you
The program introduces you to Ennerthof’s flock of 25 alpacas and ensures every participant gets their own alpaca on a lead, giving plenty of hands-on time to stroke, feed and photograph the animals.
Meadow walk and stall option
The group walks with the alpacas across the pasture to observe and interact; if weather turns poor, the same program is conducted inside the large alpaca stall so the experience proceeds without compromise.
Shop, a drink and raw alpaca wool to take home
After the hour there is time to browse the Alpaka Shop or relax in the Ennerthof break room; each participant also receives a small sachet of raw alpaca wool as a memento.

The session unfolds as a guided, hands-on introduction: you meet on the farm, each person takes an alpaca on the lead, and the group moves across the meadow while the guide explains practical and natural-history details — with rain contingency to move into the large alpaca stall — concluding with time in the Alpaka Shop or break room and a small raw-wool keepsake.
