Anholter Schweiz, Wildlife park in Isselburg, Germany
Anholter Schweiz is a wildlife park in Isselburg that combines recreational areas with natural habitats. The grounds span several hectares with walking paths through forests, meadows, and water bodies.
The grounds began as a hunting preserve of Prince Leopold of Salm-Salm during the 19th century. It later transformed into a public green space open to visitors.
Visitors encounter information about local wildlife throughout the park on educational signs and displays. People walk through the landscape observing bears, lynx, and otters living in their natural surroundings.
The park has regular feeding times for animals that vary between summer and winter seasons. Visitors should allow enough time to walk the paths comfortably.
The grounds deliberately recreate Swiss landscape features with shaped terrain and architecture inspired by Alpine design. This creates an environment that evokes mountain scenery while located in the flat Lower Rhine region.
