Interact with grazing sheep. Enjoy rich soft-serve ice cream for an afternoon snack
About this spot
A municipal tourism farm modeled after Swiss mountain pastures, where sheep roam freely across green hillsides. The unique thrill of quietly approaching and interacting with freely grazing sheep differs distinctly from a zoo experience. Meet goats, horses, cattle, and rabbits, and enjoy seasonal events like sheep shearing and sheepdog shows. The on-site Cheese House features displays and activities related to cheesemaking. The farm's signature rich soft-serve ice cream, made from fresh milked cream, is perfect for an afternoon treat after hours of play. Rolling down gentle grassy slopes exhilarates children. An open, spacious finale to the day—a worthy way to conclude the journey.
Tips
From Rokko Garden Terrace area, approximately 15 minutes by car. By public transport, transfer via mountain buses. The terrain features slopes and grassy inclines—wear sturdy shoes. Hand-wash and sanitize after animal contact. Parking is paid; closing times vary seasonally—check the official website beforehand for peace of mind.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes. Late afternoon when heat subsides and sheep become more active.
