Tips

BUND e.V.

The European wildcat was hunted for a long time so that it was almost extinct in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century. Today the species is strictly protected and its populations have been able to recover in recent decades. But it is still considered an endangered species according to the Red List.

The wildcat adventure trail takes you past ten stations that take you into the life of the European wildcat. You can find more information about the wildcat forest experience here: bund-niedersachsen.de/ueber-uns/bund-projekte/aktuelle-projekte/rettungsnetz-wildkatze/mehr-erfahren/wildkatzen-erlebnispfad

The chances of you encountering a real wild cat are very slim. But if it does happen, be careful! Be sure to leave gray tabby kittens in the woods. We give you tips on how to behave: bund.net/vorsicht-wildkatze
