In Central Europe, the red deer is one of the largest wild animals living in the wild and is almost only found in forest biotopes. Originally it was a resident of open and semi-open landscapes.

The red deer is the largest wild animal in Central Europe. Here it occurs almost exclusively in forests. The forest on the Bavarian-Bohemian border was originally only the habitat for red deer in the summer months. The natural hiking tradition between the summer habitats in the high elevations and the winter habitats in the valleys up to the Danube has been interrupted for a long time due to the development, clearing and settlement .

Winter feeding compensates for this disadvantage and enables the animals to survive. In the national park, most of the red deer spend the cold season in four winter gates.

Unfortunately, the last time I was unable to visit this enclosure, as it was destroyed by the storm that did a lot of damage throughout the park.

The red deer
Desirable antlers in males. In Central Europe, the red deer is the largest wild animal in the world. He lives here almost only in forests. The forest on the Bavarian-Bohemian border was originally the habitat for the red deer only in the summer months.

A very large enclosure, plenty of space for the deer, as a visitor you walk through the enclosure. I could see the animals at the feeding station, including offspring and an older male with very nice, powerful antlers.

Very large walk-in enclosure. With a bit of luck you can see many deer.

The deer enclosure is a very spacious enclosure and one of the enclosures in the animal enclosure that you can walk through (but not with dogs). Unfortunately, the animals often stay at the feeding place; if they are somewhere else, e.g. in the large clearing, great pictures are possible.
