Wildpark Roggenhausen, Wildlife park and zoo in Eppenberg-Wöschnau, Switzerland.
Wildpark Roggenhausen is a wildlife park in Eppenberg-Wöschnau that displays native animals such as ibex, deer, wild boar, and marmots in natural-style enclosures. The site spreads across the Roggenhausental area with paths connecting different sections where various animal groups live.
The park was founded in 1903 and grew from an earlier fire pond that was converted to a duck pond in 1931. Wild boar and ibex enclosures were added decades later, transforming it into a more complete wildlife facility.
The park offers chances to watch native animals like ibex and deer roaming in open enclosures as they would in the wild. Walking through different sections helps visitors understand how these creatures fit into the Swiss landscape.
The park is free to enter year-round and sells appropriate animal feed on site along with restaurants and playgrounds for families. Paths are well-marked and wind through different sections, letting visitors explore at their own pace.
The park maintains an arboretum of rare high-stem trees that show visitors the diversity of Swiss flora. A historical Spycher building from 1642 stands near the picnic areas and can be viewed while enjoying meals outdoors.
