Since March 2006, a small herd of aurochs, originally from Auerbach, has been grazing in a grassland area between Walsdorf and Zettelsdorf. The animals are a copy of the aurochs, which became extinct in 1627.

A lovely place for a rest in bad weather. It also features an information board about the town of Walsdorf.
