On the „Arc and Rescue Station Saldobosch“ you can find the largest group of the the last remaining Carpathian buffaoes as well as a herd of Huzul horses and other types of rare local domestic animals.
„The Carpathian buffalo is the most impressive and most rare domestic animal in Europe. However this fascinating and intelligent animal does not fit into an economically oriented agriculture, because to keep them and especially to milk them requires a lot of patience and empathy“, says Michel Jacobi, who started the project to save the Carpathian buffaloes in 2008. He tries to gather the knowledge about these unique and headstrong animals and pass it on, because in Transcarpathia only a few elderly people still have this traditonal knowledge.
The plans for the near future include establishing a market for high quality buffaloe mozzarella, organising riding excursions for tourists and to become a part of one of the nationalparks in the Carpathian mountains.
