Wildfreigehege Bend

Wildfreigehege Bend is a wildlife enclosure situated in woodland between the Erft river and a highway, housing roughly 200 animals from about 10 species. The site spreads across forest areas where deer, sheep, and other local animals roam, with walking paths that allow visitors to move through the grounds.

The facility was established in 1975 through a partnership between a German forest protection organization and the city of Grevenbroich. This collaboration formed the foundation for the site to operate as a conservation and education project.

This place serves as a learning space where visitors of all ages observe and understand animals living in natural surroundings. People come here to experience local wildlife up close and develop a connection with nature.

Access is via well-maintained forest paths, many of which are accessible for wheelchairs, and picnic areas are available for rest and meals. A communal barbecue hut is available for rent if you want a covered cooking space.

Visitors can feed and pet certain animals like Sika deer, Dexter cattle, and Cameroon sheep through designated fence openings. This hands-on contact creates a memorable experience that sets this place apart.
