SPONSORING AN ANIMAL
Member of the association for the preservation of the white baroque donkey
This association, which was founded in 2011, takes care of all matters regarding white baroque donkeys, the only officially recognised donkey breed in Austria. St. Martins supports the association as a member of the board, represented by Elke Schmelzer, and keeps three animals on its own farm.
Why are baroque donkeys white? What do the donkeys eat, and how do you keep them? And what makes a donkey different to a horse? Find out all this and more at St. Martins Lodge. We have a small herd of donkeys in the eco-learning barn at St. Martins Spa & Lodge. The donkeys are part of animal-assisted interventions with our guests and also help to maintain the green steppe landscape in the grounds of St. Martins.
