    The wild boar park in Roetgen is freely accessible and can therefore be visited all day long.
    Encounters with local nature in the wild boar enclosure and on the forest nature trail in Roetgen
    Parents and children enjoy the local nature and, with a bit of luck, observe the local wild boar in the wild boar enclosure in Roetgen. The game reserve covers an area of around 5 hectares. It is located directly on the forest nature trail, which, with its diverse information boards, provides families with interesting insights into the nature of the Eifel.
    The kindergarten forest The adjacent kindergarten forest provides parents and children with even more interesting information about local nature. In this way, visitors big and small can find out, for example: B. everything about the wild bee hotel. A refuge is ideal for families to take a short break or even have a picnic. What is there to learn? Many other interesting stations inform parents and children on the forest nature trail in Roetgen, for example. B. about different bird species such as the nightingale or the little wren. The trees along the forest nature trail are also worth seeing. Typical birch forests, copper beeches and English oaks, which have been here since ancient times, provide impressive insights into forest life.

      And one more piece of information for anyone who wants to visit the wild boar enclosure accompanied by small children: A special "highlight" for the little visitors in particular is the kindergarten forest. The area is located on a clearing integrated into the wild boar enclosure in the middle of nature, surrounded only by wide forest and meadow areas. The kindergarten forest was opened in 1999. Based on a concept by the forestry officer from neighboring Belgium, the project was fully implemented by volunteers and numerous sponsors.
      One part was set up just for the local kindergartens. There is also a shelter wagon, a hut and a fixed fireplace here. All local kindergartens can use this part of the area for excursions or children's parties.
      The second part of the area is accessible to everyone. Here all children can gain their first experiences with nature while playing. Source: rheinland.info/themen/natur/poi-detailseite-natur/poi/10489/schwarzwildgehege-und-kindergartenwald-roetgen/index.html

        Directly below the hiking trail along the Schleebachgraben, near the parking lot "Im Todt" is the approximately 5 hectare wild boar park of the municipality. A shelter and numerous benches invite you to meet the black coats in a wonderful location. eifel.info/a-schwarzwildpark-roetgen
