Reindeer at Hotel K5 Levi
In the courtyard of Hotel K5 Levi, there is an enclosure where you can meet reindeer during the winter. The reindeer are brought to the enclosure at the beginning of winter once the ground is covered with permanent snow. They remain with us until spring, when the hotel closes for the season.
Come and Greet the Reindeer!
Reindeer usually sleep at night, but their sleeping patterns are not as regular as those of many other animals. They can rest and nap during the day as well, especially in winter when the northern regions experience polar nights with limited daylight.
Reindeer typically sleep in short intervals and are always ready to flee if they sense danger. When resting, they lie on the ground, often choosing sheltered spots where they can remain undisturbed. In winter, they may dig beds into the snow to shield themselves from the wind and cold.
Important: If you see the reindeer resting, please allow them their peace. Undisturbed rest is crucial for their well-being.
Treat the Reindeer with Lichen
At the hotel reception, you can purchase lichen, a favorite food of the reindeer, for €8 per bag. Feeding them is a wonderful way to get closer and enjoy their presence!
