Wildpark Gersfeld, Wildlife park in Gersfeld, Germany.

Wildpark Gersfeld, also called Hochwildschutzpark Ehrengrund, stretches about a kilometre southeast through the deep Ehrengrund valley at roughly 550 m above sea level. Its 50 hectares of coniferous and mixed forest and meadows hold about 150 animals of some 25 mainly European species, from red, fallow and roe deer to mouflon, chamois, ibex and wisent. A small and a large circular route run through the grounds, and a walk-in enclosure allows direct contact with fallow deer.

The park was established in 1972 as a sanctuary for European wildlife in the Hesse region. Since its creation, it has steadily grown in importance as a space dedicated to animal conservation.

The park serves as a place where visitors connect with local wildlife and learn about native species through direct observation. People come here to understand how these animals live in their natural state.

The park is open year-round, so winter visits are possible too. All paths are built to be wheelchair accessible. Two circular routes, a short one and a long one, run about a kilometre up the Ehrengrund valley, which climbs to roughly 600 metres at the far end.

In a walk-through enclosure, visitors can meet fallow deer without a fence between them and feed the animals from their hand. The park also keeps a group of European bison, and since 2011 a voliere houses black grouse, a bird threatened with extinction in the Rhön; it was co-funded by the Rhön Biosphere Reserve.
