The alpine dairymen Michi and Bastian watch over the Gesäuse herds on the Grabneralm. Always accompanied by her four-legged friend Uwe, who spreads the Styrian alpine idyll across the world via social media channels. The three are not afraid of the wolf.
Uweontherocks: This is the name of Senner Bastian’s cute four-legged friend on the social media platform TikTok, which is extremely popular with boys. “My dog Uwe is a real star,” laughs the man from Graz, who is spending this summer on the Grabneralm with his colleague Michi. Wake up at dawnYour day starts early: “We milk the goats at 4.45 a.m., and then we do that in the evening again,” the men report on their everyday lives. In between, the 35 goats, 26 sheep, 50 cattle, three pigs and three horses are constantly inspected for their health and well-being. During our visit, an eagle and a buzzard circle over the heads of the shepherds. The two are not afraid of the wolf, which is said to have settled here in the region long ago: “We hope for the best and, above all, that the new protection project works.” Install Internet – soon Uwe and the wolf? “We haven’t seen anyone yet. And we pray that it stays that way.”
