Hankensbüttel Otter Centre

The center spans 6 hectares along Isenhagener See, featuring natural habitats with streams, ponds, and woodlands where otters and martens live.

Founded in 1979 as a research station by the Lower Saxon Forestry Commission, the center transformed into a public wildlife park in 1988.

The facility conducts educational programs about local wildlife conservation, offering daily animal feedings and interactive nature activities for visitors.

Visitors can access the center through regular bus service from Wittingen train station, with on-site restaurant seating for 230 people.

The center maintains specialized breeding areas separate from public spaces, contributing to European otter population preservation efforts.
