UNIKUM is a family-run fish farm and handmade-products workshop in the Bavarian Forest, built around a way of life shaped by nature, traditional skills, and seasonal resources. Its “Back to Nature” project combines natural fish farming, herbal knowledge, workshops, and outdoor experiences, with an emphasis on self-sufficiency, permaculture, and working with the land.

The fish farm raises trout and char in natural ponds supplied by spring and stream water, with ample space, natural feed, and minimal intervention. Fish are available fresh or traditionally smoked, by advance order for collection at the farm. The Manufaktur creates natural personal-care products inspired by herbal medicine and traditional plant knowledge, alongside wild-herb meals. Practical courses share skills in identifying, gathering, and processing local plants.

UNIKUM also offers fish-tasting boxes, books and knowledge resources, camping, equipment, and branded merchandise. Visitors can support the project through reviews or pond sponsorships. Income is reinvested in the site, including planting flower meadows and trees and creating habitats for wildlife.
