Wildlife parks — safari in Germany

Great destination! The animals here are so trusting that even a deer has eaten from my hand. Many animals roam freely looking for people's attention - or their food ... So take a pack of dry bread and see dams in close proximity. A special highlight of our visit was the bird show. My insider tip: In the morning during the week the animals are the most trusting!

The Bavarian Forest National Park in the Inner Bavarian Forest lies on the border with the Czech Republic. It was founded in 1970 as Germany's first national park in the Freyung - Grafenau district and has an area of around 24,250 hectares. Domestic mixed mountain forests, firs, beeches and spruces are protected. Many rare animal species were also reintroduced, such as the lynx, European wildcat, red deer, and the wolf, also the capercaillie, as well as the owl and Kautz. The open game enclosure is beautifully laid out in size, and is very interesting to visit, it is free of charge, and you should plan a day.

Beautiful! In beautiful, clean enclosures you will learn a lot about the animals and their habitat. Throughout the park, the attention to detail. Especially the very attractively designed bird of prey show is a highlight here. Otherwise we have spotted wolves, bears, prairie dogs, otters, snow leopards, tigers, raccoons and moose. There is also a petting zoo, where lively goats wrestle for every fingering hand of the visitors ...

Open all year, free and guaranteed a lot of fun. You can visit red deer, deer, mouflon and wild boar at home. A special feature is the fallow deer outdoor enclosure, where the game can be experienced and fed close up.

In August I visited with my parents the nature and environmental park. Despite the discount, this theme park is certainly one of the most expensive. Nevertheless, you also get a lot. Loving puzzles to participate, active learning games and well-presented information boards provided. The whole thing has a pedagogical effect and can partially refresh the rusted knowledge from the school. The snack bar next to the playground invites to a little refreshment. Would like to come back here anytime.

In the Landpark Lauenbrück, surrounded by a very idyllic landscape, you can see various animal species from close up. Especially in the outdoor enclosure the deer and deer do not seem to be afraid. If the animals have already become enough, they can also spend their time in the tasty restaurant, on one of the children's playgrounds or on the adventure path directly on the lake. During my 5-hour stay I especially noticed the cleanliness of the park and the scrupulousness of the animals. Overall, a very nice facility!

My absolute favorite game park. Highlights here are the wolves and brown bears, some of which look very photogenic into the camera. Especially recommended are the feeding rounds. Here you can really see all the animals up close. The feeding tour lasts about 2.5 hours and takes place twice a day. In the winter time there is even a Christmas market.

If you spend most of your time in the center of Cologne, you will hardly notice that Cologne has 15 percent forest area. You can easily reach the thin forest in the east of the city via the wildlife park of the same name, past well-known forest animals to the forest pool. Further south you reach the idyllic Höhenfelder See over a hill.

The wildlife park invites you to take a walk at any time of the year or day. Numerous hiking trails lead to the wildlife park. Here you can find red deer, sika deer, raccoons, lynx, wild boar and foxes. Admission is free. In the wildlife park there is a stalactite cave that can be visited during a guided tour. There is an inn attached to the wildlife park.

In the enclosures wild boars, fallow deer and red deer can be observed up close. At a vending machine you can buy special animal feed for feeding.

The Wildpark Pforzheim is beautifully situated in the middle of the forest. Admission is compensated by redeeming a parking ticket, which costs only 3 euros. You can see: goats, otters, fallow deer, "farm animals", bison, wild boar, foxes, lynx, ... The animals have relatively large retreats and are at first glance healthy and well maintained. For little money you get a lot here.

One of the most attractive recreational areas in Leipzig is the Wildpark Leipzig in the southern floodplain forest. On the approx. 46 ha large area about 25 animal species with approx. 250 animals are kept.

As a result, the wildlife park Connewitz complements the animal species composition with other livestock facilities in the city of Leipzig such as the Zoo Leipzig, which shows superficially exotic animals, or the pet zoo of the company Bauersfeld, where visitors can see different domestic breeds.

The game park understands itself (also) as a "PR agency" for native animals and nature. It is his goal to promote species and habitat protection. The wildlife park is also an information center for the local wildlife, offers the opportunity to conduct research and is of course an attractive recreational space for visitors.

The Fasanerie is in summer as well as in winter a great destination! Ample free parking, moderate prices, friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. There is something for both the little ones and the adults to see and experience. Not only the animals were able to inspire us, also the small play area invites to a break. The website displays an annual calendar of the animals showing the highlights of each month. From the offspring of foxes to the mouflon rutting.

Pure nature to walk and relax. Here you can observe mainly domestic game in a large enclosure. My tip: Take your time, as it is often helpful to sit down and just wait. Quiet, like a hunter on the high stand, we have thus made the best observations.
