Eekholt Wildlife Park, Wildlife park in Segeberg, Germany.

The park extends across 67 hectares of natural terrain, featuring forests and moors intersected by the Osterau river with its connecting floodplains.

Founded in 1970 by Hans-Heinrich Hatlapa, the park began as a research area for red deer before expanding to accommodate numerous Central European species.

The Wolf Information Centre Schleswig-Holstein within the park serves as an educational facility teaching visitors about wolf behavior and conservation efforts.

Visitors can watch daily animal feedings of wolves, foxes, otters, and stone martens, while three falconry demonstrations occur during summer months.

The park maintains a specialized breeding program for sea eagles and black storks as part of the European Endangered Species Programme.
