Wildpark Westerwald

The Westerwald Wildlife Park, formerly known as the Westerwald Wildlife and Leisure Park, is picturesquely located near Gackenbach and is a popular destination for families and nature lovers. Covering around 60 hectares, visitors can see native animal species in spacious outdoor enclosures, including deer, wild boars, lynxes and birds of prey, whose flight shows are among the highlights. Today, the park clearly focuses on nature, animal and species conservation. The renaming reflects the change from a leisure park to a pure wildlife park, where education and environmental awareness are at the forefront.

Along well-maintained paths, information boards provide details about the habitats and behaviour of the animals. The petting zoo, where children can experience goats and sheep up close, is particularly popular. The natural landscape of the Westerwald with its forests, meadows and vantage points provides an impressive backdrop for walks and wildlife watching.

The park is also involved in nature conservation projects and environmental education. Rest areas, a play area and catering facilities round off the offer. Today, Westerwald Wildlife Park stands for authentic nature experiences, sustainable tourism and the close connection between humans, animals and the environment.
