It's a beautiful park with lots of information for all ages. To see the animals, you should attend feedings, as these shy creatures are otherwise in hiding.

Unfortunately, it's not really accessible. On the one hand, there's very dense vegetation around it in the summer, and on top of that, there's a metal fence. An information board at the front of the main road also provides useful information about the wall in German and English.

Older building in a beautiful and well-kept complex. In Knesebeck you can also take care of yourself well. Furthermore, the place has a small train station, which can be interesting for tour planning. The trains usually offer the possibility to take bicycles with them.
