Outdoor activities

The 70ha park of the Preisch estate holds many mysteries: an enchanted forest of about twenty hectares and bicentenary trees surrounding the ruins of a fortified castle with its double moat. Large fields form the junction between the two and host a flock of Hampshire sheep, as well as our farm animals.

It is in this unique setting that we offer many outdoor activities, for all ages and for all tastes.

From the shape of the leaves, find the poems and the names of the trees that correspond, using an arboretum. A booklet is provided to record the indices…
