Here is the programme for the third weekend in January at Katica Farm, inspired by the cold weather. On 20–21 January, the Wool – this wonderfully warm material takes centre stage. This weekend, we’re using wool to ward off the onslaught of the cold winter. They could make a woolly lamb or a felt ball, and they could also learn about the journey of wool: How is sheep’s wool turned into felt that people can use?
In Hungarian, the term ‘wool’ generally refers to the coat of hair covering a sheep’s body and forming a continuous fleece. Less commonly, the fur of certain other animals (such as Angora goats and cashmere goats) is also referred to as ‘wool’, but in such cases the name of the animal is always placed before the word ‘wool’ (Angora wool, cashmere wool). Wool is of particular importance in clothing and home textiles (blankets, carpets, upholstery fabrics), which is mainly due to its excellent heat retention, softness, elasticity and pleasant feel.
Come rain or shine, you’ll always find something to do here. The climbing walls and logic puzzles in our Adventure Cave will put your courage and skills to the test, whilst our trampolines not only let you show off your agility but also give you a bit of a feeling as if you were flying amongst the birds in the open air. Whether you fancy a game of table football or air hockey, or perhaps a mini-bowling match, you’ll find it all here.
