Especially recommended with younger children. Lots of seating and some picnic options. Also several play equipment, a playground, quizzes and riddles for older children and everyone who enjoys it.

It is the oldest wildlife park in Saxony and is beautifully laid out. We were able to observe many animals such as lynx, polecats and wild horses. There are fallow deer, red deer and sika deer. We couldn't spot the fox and wolf. It makes sense to have binoculars with you.

After the Second World War, the Moritzburg game reserve was re-established in 1958. Since then it has been looked after by the forestry administration. Today the game reserve belongs to the Dresden forest district in the state-owned Sachsenforst.
As a special facility for public relations, the game reserve is, alongside Moritzburg Castle and the state stud farm, the third tourism service provider in the region with extraordinary potential in forest education and environmental education.
Visitors can relax and observe red and fallow deer, wild horses, mouflons, roe deer, sika deer, lynxes, wolves and wild cats in the forest on 43 hectares.

Opening hours:
March - October daily 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m
November - February Sat, Sun, public holidays, Saxon holidays 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m
Due to construction work, last entry is 3 p.m.

Entrance fees:
Adults: EUR 5.00
Children 3 to 17 years: EUR 2.50
with volunteer card: 2.50 EUR

History of the game reserve
The beginnings of today's Moritzburg game reserve go back to a hunting gate owned by the Saxon Electors Moritz and August in 1580, which primarily had the function of supplying the electoral kitchen with fresh game.

We managed to find a shady parking space in the parking lot at the game reserve for €2. Then we plunged into the animal and nature adventure. All I can say is - it was a wonderful trip 😉.

Admission prices are very family-friendly:
Adults €5, Children €2.50

What makes the game reserve special is its long history, dating back to 1580 and the Saxon Electors Moritz and August. At that time, the forest area served to supply the Elector's kitchen with fresh game. The forests were rich in game and the preferred hunting ground of the nobility. The German Hunt of the time was used to kill large quantities of game and was considered a classic hunting method in the 17th century. Back then, groups would hunt thousands of game in one day. It wasn't until the death of Friedrich August in 1827 that the decline of the Moritzburg par force hunts was sealed.

In 1828, the Moritzburg hunt was finally dissolved. From then on, more modest and less expensive hunts took place. After the Second World War, the Moritzburg game reserve was re-established in 1958. Since then, it has been managed by the local forestry administration and is now part of the Dresden forestry district, part of the state-owned Sachsenforst forestry company. Visitors have the opportunity to observe red deer, wild boar, mouflon, sika deer, roe deer, as well as lynx and wildcats in the 34-hectare forest.
