Welcome to the Slow Ones
We are the snail rescue center in Munich: Here, agate snails and native snails find a home, and people find a community. We’re glad you’re here.
Thank you for being here
Every bit of help counts, no matter how big or small
Whether you lend a hand, write us a kind word, spread the word about our website, or simply drop by: you are part of us, and for that, we are truly grateful.
If you would also like to support us financially, our snails (and we!) would be absolutely delighted. After all, food, soil, and lime need to be provided every day. A donation, membership, or sponsorship makes this possible.
Our Community
This is where you belong
Over the years, a small, warm community has formed around our snails. We share photos, questions, joy, and sometimes a slow day.
With us, everyone is welcome just as they are. No one has to achieve anything or explain themselves. Those who feel like it can join in, and those who simply want to watch are just as welcome.
This is how you can help us
Donate
Food, soil, lime: such tiny feelers, such big appetites! Your donation will help ensure that every one of our snails is well fed. A donation receipt is available upon request.
