Wildgehege Hellenthal, Wildlife park in Hellenthal, Germany
The 165-hectare wildlife park contains 840 animals from 75 species, including red deer, fallow deer, lynxes, wildcats, and 200 birds of prey.
Established in 1967, the park merged its wildlife enclosure and eagle station operations in 2012 after extensive legal proceedings to form a unified facility.
The park maintains a specialized eagle station for care and breeding of white-tailed eagles, falcons, hawks, and kites, presenting daily flight demonstrations with trained falconers.
The facility operates from April to October between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM, and from November to March between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with adult admission at 8 euros.
The park features re-bred Tarpans, modern horses that maintain characteristics of their extinct ancestors, offering visitors a connection to prehistoric European wildlife.
