Originating from South America, alpacas have adapted very well to the cooler, mountainous climate of Lower Silesia. Thanks to their resistance to cold, they have become ideal inhabitants of the Karkonosze Mountains.
Contact with alpacas has a relaxing and stress-relieving effect. Their gentle disposition and soft fur make it easy to calm down and recharge with positive energy in their company. They have a soothing effect on both children and parents, especially those seeking a moment of respite from the daily rush.
Szklarska Poręba, known for its picturesque landscapes and mountain trails, also offers encounters with alpacas. In the quiet of this charming town, there is the Alpacas in Karkonosze farm, where you can meet the friendly animals and learn more about their breeding.
Moreover, alpacas from the same farm also appear on the grounds of the Lake Hill Hotel. Every summer Wednesday and Saturday from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, alpaca walks are organized as part of the mountain holidays at Lake Hill.
