The fallow deer enclosure in the Nuremberg Reichswald.

The Nuremberg Reichswald has been used and changed intensively by people for centuries. Today it is one of the most important local recreation areas in the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region. Versatile leisure activities such as cycling or hiking can be undertaken in this large, contiguous forest area. It is characterized by pine forests, which are currently being converted into stable mixed forests with lots of hardwood.
Our fallow deer enclosure is one of the most popular visitor points for many families. You can observe the small deer, which are quite shy in the wild, here in their natural habitat. Fallow deer originally comes from Asia and was naturalized here in the Middle Ages. On a large meadow and in a small tree-lined area, they frolic all day long and enjoy themselves. In spring, when the calves are born and the forest turns green, or in autumn, when the fallow deer starts to roam and the leaves change color, the fallow deer enclosure offers you the most impressive insights into the life of this species. You can get a good overview of the enclosure on the observation pulpit. Anyone looking for close contact with the animals can feed the animals with species-appropriate products such as grain, corn or hay.

Very nice fallow deer enclosure where the animals come very trustingly directly to the fence and, with a little patience, can also be petted.

Of course there are people at work who feed the animals, although this is strictly forbidden like everywhere else. Many animals die because of the food that is not suitable for them. I have zero understanding for something like that.

Beautiful game reserve... But a walk further into the forest is also worth it.
