"Let's go feed the deer" is what we often hear from visitors when they enter our spacious fallow deer enclosure. Fallow deer are often confused with deer.
The fallow deer is one of the native deer species, but differs significantly from the other two in terms of size/weight, fur coloration - the adults also have spots in their fur - and also antlers (shovels).
And – what many visitors don’t know – no deer are kept at the Grafenberg Wildlife Park. These occur naturally throughout our forests and can therefore be observed outside the park.

Only the female animals are kept in the outdoor enclosure. The fallow deer are found in a separate enclosure diagonally opposite the wild boars.
