Tierpark Nordhorn, Zoo in Nordhorn, Germany
Tierpark Nordhorn is a zoo near the Dutch border that displays diverse animal species in naturalistic enclosures. The grounds feature multiple sections with around 2,500 animals from roughly 100 different species arranged throughout a park-like setting.
The park was founded in 1949 when a forest area was leased to create a local animal garden, opening its doors in 1950. Since then, it has grown into an important facility for animal conservation and nature protection in the region.
The Vechtewelt section presents traditional farming and rare domestic animal breeds that are hard to find elsewhere. Visitors can experience how rural life looked in the region and see these animals living as they once did.
The grounds are fully wheelchair accessible and easy to navigate, with pathways and information stations throughout. The park regularly offers tours and educational programs that work well for families and school groups.
The park manages protected natural areas beyond its main grounds and is part of a larger nature conservation network in the region. This makes it more than just a zoo, as it actively works to protect natural habitats in the wider area.
