Harzfalkenhof, Bird zoo in Bad Sachsa, Germany
The Harzfalkenhof is a bird zoo located on Katzenstein hill that focuses on birds of prey such as eagles and falcons. The facility brings together different species of raptors in an open setting where you can observe them up close.
The zoo was founded in 1965 by Hans Reinecke, who financed the project privately and wanted to create a center for nature conservation in the Harz region. This beginning led to decades of work focused on protecting birds of prey.
The flight demonstrations here show birds of prey in action and give visitors a direct look at how these hunters use their skills. Watching them move through the air makes it clear why they are so successful in nature.
The park sits on a hill, so be prepared for steep paths and uneven ground when walking around. Wearing good shoes and allowing plenty of time will help you explore all the aviaries and enclosures comfortably.
The facility runs a specialized breeding program for lammergeiers, enormous birds of prey with extraordinary flight abilities. Watching these birds perform reveals just how powerful and agile they can be in the air.
