Part of the Hardehausen wisent enclosure. The lowland bison are located here. The other part with the mountain bison is just a little further southeast on the Hammerbach. With a little luck, the impressive animals can be observed up close.

Since 2004, both bison subspecies, the mountain bison and the lowland bison, have existed in separate enclosures - this is unique in Europe.

A highlight of the Hardehauser Rundwege are the bisons. Hideaways with benches are available.
