Erlebnis Auen – Schlafen im Stroh is a farm-stay experience offered by the Signer-Knechtle family on their Obere Auen farm in Wasserauen, at the foot of the Alpstein range. Guests sleep on fresh straw in an authentic barn, a friendly, nature-close way to experience farm life with family or friends. The rate includes breakfast made with regional produce, plus access to a shower. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with the scent of hay, the quiet of the farm and views of the Alpstein peaks setting the scene for the night. It's a popular choice for families, school groups and hikers looking for a simple, original experience after a day's walking in the area. The site is an ideal starting point for the trails to the Ebenalp and the Säntis.
