Tips

Hiking

In 2021 the park was abandoned and some of the animals were relocated to other wildlife parks. The reason for this is that new guidelines stipulate minimum sizes for wildlife parks in which the animal population is regulated by hunting. The enclosure in Melle fell short of this minimum size by around 30 hectares. In addition, the advancing African swine fever was seen as a threat to the wild boar population of around 180 animals.
The fences are gradually being dismantled. The site as well as the Diedrichsburg with gastronomy should remain accessible to visitors and hikers.

Hiking

The wildlife park no longer exists. The fences are partially dismantled. However, the area is still accessible to hikers.

Cycling

The west gate is, alongside the north gate, the main entrance gate to the wildlife park. Hikers should enter the wildlife park from here due to its proximity to the Weberhaus. For cyclists, the north gate is the better alternative.

The wildlife park is history. The fences are being dismantled.
