Wildpark Hundshaupten

The Hundshaupten Wildlife Park in Franconian Switzerland is an ideal destination for a varied trip into nature. More than 40 species of animals live on around 40 hectares of land, mostly forest, which you can observe on the extensive circular trails. These include native species such as red deer, fallow deer, wild boar and mouflon, as well as special animals such as bison, ibex and lynx. The enclosures are spacious and designed to be close to nature, so that you can experience the animals in an environment that closely resembles their natural habitats.

There is plenty for families to discover at Hundshaupten Wildlife Park. A large adventure playground invites children to romp around, and in the petting area they can interact directly with goats and other animals. Several interactive stations along the paths teach children about nature and the environment in a child-friendly way, while the ‘green classroom’ offers exciting insights into the animal and plant world. The commented feedings, for example for the lynxes, are particularly popular, as they not only offer fascinating insights into the behaviour of the animals, but also provide interesting background information.

The paths through the wildlife park are well signposted and vary in length. This allows you to plan your visit flexibly – whether for a shorter tour or a longer exploration. As the hilly terrain can be steep in places, sturdy footwear is recommended. Numerous rest areas and a small restaurant invite you to take a break. If you wish, you can bring a picnic and enjoy the natural surroundings in peace.

Hundshaupten Wildlife Park is open all year round and easily accessible. With its varied landscape, combination of animal observation, nature experiences and family-friendly activities, it is perfect for a half-day or full-day trip. If you want to see animals in spacious enclosures, stroll through forests and meadows and enjoy the special atmosphere of Franconian Switzerland, this is an excursion tip that is both relaxing and exciting.
