Wildpark Tiergarten Weilburg, Wildlife park and zoo in Weilburg, Germany
Wildpark Tiergarten Weilburg spreads across forested terrain and houses various European animal species such as deer, wild boar, and birds of prey in spacious, natural enclosures. The area sits at elevations between 270 and 320 meters and uses the rolling landscape to shape the habitats.
The animal grounds date back to 1590 when Count Albrecht of Nassau kept fallow deer in the area. Later, Count Johann Ernst developed it into a larger hunting park between 1685 and 1688.
The forest paths showcase native plants and animals in their natural surroundings. Visitors often use the trails to explore woodland life and understand how the ecosystem works.
The park is open daily and offers well-marked trails through the enclosures that can be explored on foot. Visitors should bring sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate clothing, as paths can become slippery in rain.
A stone wall built in 1732 over two meters high encircles the entire site and still shows its original architecture today. The wall features special ramps that allowed animals to enter but prevented their escape.
