What is Gut Aiderbichl? More than 4700 happy animals live on our 23 farms. The original Aiderbichl Estate, founded in 2001, is situated just 20 km outside the city of Salzburg. Its founder, Michael Aufhauser, had a dream: he wanted to create a centre where humans and animals could encounter one another and get to know each other better. Rescued animals, many of them with a very distressing past, have found a new home here in the midst of the beautiful alpine region of Austria. It is a place where we can learn about their lives and discover what can be improved in the treatment of the weaker, whether humans or animals. Here they can forget what has happened to them in the past and can start a new life with us. And for us, with the beauty that surrounds us and the contentment of the residents, it is a place that inspires everyone.
