Bison Enclosure in Hakenheide

Highlight • Structure

The bison enclosure is very beautiful, stable and spacious. Perfect for the impressive animals. I would have liked to pet the animal, but with so much primal power I preferred not to.

Hey, have I landed in North America? Not at all, because Hermann Birkenhake, a farmer from Niehorst, breeds bison on his farm. He then supplies the bison meat to the Isselhorst restaurant “Zur Linde”.
