The bison is the only inhabitant of the Ice Age game reserve that has not been completely eradicated. As the largest land mammal in Europe and the last representative of the European wild cattle species, it populated central and northern European mixed forests and steppes. The last animals living in the wild were killed in the early 20th century. Two bisons currently live in the Neandertal wildlife reserve. The two old ladies can usually be seen well on their pastures in the south of the enclosure. The bison herd Although their pasture area is smaller than that of the aurochs, the bison naturally also have the opportunity to escape the view of the visitors. However, they especially like to lie on the heap of sand in front of their stable, where they can be easily observed.

Bullfight with aurochs, ascents and descents through the forest and human bones: we're talking about the Ice Age game reserve Neandertal. You can find more information about our hike at: netreisetagebuch.de/eiszeitliche-wildgehege-neandertal

Quaint, spacious animal enclosures with impressive offspring: For me, a wonderful zoological achievement. A magical valley full of nature experiences.
