Small round trip at Wildlife Park Bad Marienberg

Wildlife Park Bad Marienberg

The wildlife park is accessible at all times and admission is free. A 4 km circular trail leads through the attractive forest and meadow area; 400 m are barrier-free.  There is a petting zoo and a large adventure playground for children. Dogs are allowed in the wildlife park, but must be kept on a lead. 

Your little ones can have great fun in the large children's playground in the wildlife park. The children's carousel, swings, climbing frame, sandpit, ropeway, slide, bumper cars and digger will delight young and old alike. Tables and benches made from tree trunks invite you to picnic and enjoy a cozy get-together. The petting zoo is home to goats.

Wildlife park ranger Ralf Scherm invites children, young people, adults, kindergartens and elementary school to experience nature and wildlife up close in Bad Marienberg Wildlife Park. During the guided tours, there are lots of interesting things to discover, feel and learn about the life of the animals. For example, why old breeds are threatened with extinction and why they must be preserved for future generations.
