Alternativer Bärenpark Worbis, Wildlife park and zoo in Leinefelde-Worbis, Germany.
The Alternativer Bärenpark Worbis extends across 17.75 hectares of mixed forest, sunny meadows, and multiple ponds, providing a natural habitat for bears and wolves.
Founded in 1996 on the grounds of a former municipal zoo, this facility became Germany's first dedicated bear sanctuary under the management of Aktion Bärenhilfswerk.
The park includes an educational bear trail that informs visitors about global bear mistreatment, addressing issues such as dancing bears and bear fighting practices.
The park maintains different seasonal schedules, operating from 10:00 to 18:00 between April and September, while closing at sunset from October through March.
Eight brown bears, one black bear, and a wolf pack share the expansive grounds, with specific feeding areas designed to prevent territorial conflicts between species.
