Zoo in der Wingst, Forest animal park in Wingst, Germany
Zoo in der Wingst is a forest animal park located at the edge of Wingst Forest, focusing on species that inhabit wooded regions. The grounds contain separate sections housing primates, bears, wolves, and otters from different parts of the world.
The park was established in the 1970s as a refuge for young animals. A major redesign took place in recent years to shift focus toward forest-dwelling species.
The park serves as a meeting place where visitors connect with nature and learn why forest animals need protection. You see how these creatures live in their natural habitats and understand their role in the environment around us.
A visit works best on dry days since the paths are flat but can get slippery when wet. Free parking is available and you can rent wagons if you tire during your walk.
The park features a puzzle game where visitors search for a lemur named Kattarina and solve riddles scattered throughout the grounds. This activity turns your walk into an adventure while exploring the animal sections.
