In Hollenzen, a district of Mayrhofen, a show dairy invites to an interesting excursion into the world of milk products. The aim is to show the origin and production of the hay milk products in an exciting way. Important element thereby is the show farm, where cows, sheep and goats are kept species-appropriate. Besides it offers special games for the young ones as well as rest areas and a reading corner for the adults.

Since 1954, this family run business has refined hay milk from cow, sheep and goat in the most natural way and has processed it into top quality products. The young guests are accompanied by the blue cow Zilli and its farmer. And finally, the products of course can be tasted.

The 6,000 sq m large Adventure Dairy offers even more, such as the popular farm shop and the "Sennereiküche" restaurant (literally: dairy kitchen). So the delicacies of the dairy kitchen and the products can be tasted and enjoyed in a very special atmosphere. Well-worth a visit!
