Here the run goes through the middle of the wildlife park. The animals are relatively tame and want to be fed.

🅿️🚗 It is best to park in the P2 car park at the castle and then walk the approximately 500 meter long path through the forest to the wildlife park.

You can also park down on Talstraße and reach the wildlife park after a short but steep path.

Little evening stroll after work ... It's a shame that it gets dark so early 🥴

Short hike to the Heidenheim wildlife park.
Great weather, facility as well. Nice and quiet location and fallow deer, wild boar & Co have plenty of space.
Unfortunately, it was a bit hilly to walk, so that the junior didn't want to walk the whole loop.
But at least almost 4 km. 😅🥳

It's been a long time since I've been active, but today I went to the wildlife park. It was quite pleasant, and of course there were lots of kids. 🦌🌿☀️
