The Austro-Hungarian White Baroque Donkeys are among the most critically endangered ancient livestock breeds; every single birth counts. Worldwide, only about 20 foals are born each year—one of them on June 7 at the St. Martins Estate of the St. Martins thermal baths Lodge: Maria Theresia von St. Martins is the estate’s first filly. The breeding program is intended as an active contribution to the conservation of a culturally and genetically significant domestic animal breed and combines agriculture, the protection of rare domestic animal breeds, and sustainable tourism.

A most unusual discovery was made today by the guests of St. Martins Spa & Lodge: a rare donkey was grazing peacefully on one of the nearby meadows. The St. Martins rangers managed to take a snapshot to capture this sensational event. Zebroids are hybrids of crosses between a zebra and another horse species, donkeys are accordingly the foals of a zebra stallion and a donkey mare. There are very few specimens of this cross in the world - in any case, this is the first time it has been found with one of the baroque donkeys, which are rare in themselves. The animal obviously feels at home in the steppe landscape and enjoys the wonderful spring sun. How the zebra came to the site is now being analysed in detail, it could not yet be sighted - but it is probably a particularly shy specimen.

And even if winter is still in full swing, guests of St. Martins Spa  & Lodge, a resort of VAMED Vitality World, can already observe the spring awakening of the animal and plant world.

A spontaneous time-out, a cuddly weekend or a Valentine's Special: The 1st Lodge of Central Europe awaits Valentine's Day with very special offers for lovers. "We offer our guests romantic togetherness - from a short break with roses and fruit dipped in chocolate in the room, a special weekend for two to a 5-course dinner with delicacies of the Seewinkel," says Klaus Hofmann, Managing Director of St. Martins Spa & Lodge. "With us you enjoy Valentine's Day with luxury factor. And those would like to surprise their sweetheart, here you can expect many gift ideas, which you can give also as vouchers."  

Of course, the Seewinkel safaris can also be booked as an unusual alternative: for example, on a two-hour tour with the St. Martins rangers, the animal and plant world can be conquered individually. "An experience that is always positively remembered," knows Hofmann. "Our rangers not only know the animals and plants, they can also tell many stories about the rich living world in Seewinkel . And one thing is clear: when it comes to love, nature has it all, including the real romantics."

This probably includes the gray goose, which lives monogamously and commits for life. Before things get serious, there are numerous dates in which the male has to show his strengths. Only then does the female decide whether an engagement is a possibility. During the engagement period, the male is put through his paces. If he proves to be a gentleman, they "marry" and start a family. By the way, the gray goose is also very open and diverse in its life concepts: So there are also same-sex, lifelong relationships - so love is by nature diverse and multifaceted.
