Wildpark Bruderhaus

Wildpark Bruderhaus is a wildlife park set within the Eschenberg forest with natural terrain and spacious enclosures. It houses approximately 80 animals representing nine different species.

The park was established in 1890 as a refuge for regional wildlife species that had become scarce in their natural habitats. It began as a sanctuary for local fauna.

Information panels throughout the site educate visitors about regional fauna and help connect them with Switzerland's natural world. This educational focus transforms the visit into more than simple animal watching.

The park is free to enter every day and is accessible by public transport. Buses connect directly from Winterthur station to the park during the warmer months.

The park features a large wolf enclosure where visitors can observe a pack in their natural social behavior. This opportunity to watch wolves in an active group setting often surprises visitors who expect a quieter experience.
