Kaffee Runde

Just a short drive from Regensburg in the Bavarian countryside lies Alpakahof Grundner, where a 2.5-hour guided hike invites you to step away from the city bustle and into the calming presence of alpacas. The "Kaffee Runde" (Coffee Round) is more than a casual stroll; it’s a hands-on experience blending nature, animal companionship, and a cozy woodland coffee break. Starting at Danersdorf 7 in Regenstauf, the adventure begins with introductions to the gentle alpacas, each with its own distinct personality.

These curious and sensitive animals respond to calm leadership, making the hike not just a physical activity but also a mindful practice in patience and confidence-building. As you lead your alpaca through forest paths shaded by native Bavarian beeches and oaks, a peaceful rhythm settles in, often surprising visitors who come hesitant but leave bonded. Midway, the trail pauses in a quiet woodland clearing where a steaming cup of coffee and freshly baked cake await.

This break echoes traditional Bavarian hospitality, inviting hikers to recharge muscles and spirits amid the whispering trees. The trail itself weaves through gentle terrain, punctuated by seasonal wildflowers and the occasional chirping of local songbirds. What makes Alpakahof Grundner a gem in the region’s outdoor scene is how it combines animal therapy with accessible hiking.

For families with kids over 12, solo travelers, and groups up to 20, this is a unique way to engage with Bavaria’s natural landscape beyond standard hikes. It’s an invitation to slow down, connect, and gain a new appreciation for both the environment and its creatures. Visitors should come prepared with sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing, as the hike runs rain or shine (except severe weather).

Pets are not allowed to ensure alpaca comfort, and young children need to be carried. Whether you’re seeking a gentle outdoor workout, a mood lift, or an unforgettable photo op, the Kaffee Runde at Alpakahof Grundner stands out as a heartfelt, one-of-a-kind Bavarian experience.
