Eekholt Wildlife Park

Eekholt Wildlife Park spans about 67 hectares of forest and moorland crossed by the Osterau river and its floodplain areas. The park houses wolves, foxes, otters, stone martens, and other Central European species in large natural enclosures.

Founded in 1970 by Hans-Heinrich Hatlapa, the park initially served as a research area for red deer. Over time it developed into a wildlife park dedicated to protecting various Central European species.

The Wolf Information Centre teaches visitors how these animals behave in nature and why their protection matters. People can learn about the role wolves play in the ecosystem and discover common misconceptions about them.

The park offers daily animal feedings and falconry demonstrations during summer months. The spacious pathways are easy to walk and information boards are placed throughout the park to help you learn about the animals.

The park runs a specialized breeding program for sea eagles and black storks as part of an international effort to save endangered birds. These rare species are being carefully bred and monitored to strengthen wild populations across Europe.
