Wildpark Alte Fasanerie is a wildlife park in Klein-Auheim that spreads across expansive grounds displaying native species such as wolves, lynx, deer, and wild boars. The animals inhabit spacious areas designed to allow them natural movement and typical behaviors.
The site dates back to 1710 when it was established as a hunting ground for the Archbishop of Mainz. Over time it transformed into a public sanctuary dedicated to protecting native wildlife.
The site originated as a hunting ground for nobility and today serves as a space where visitors encounter native species in conditions that encourage their natural behaviors. People of all ages come here to observe predators and grazing animals up close, creating a connection between urban communities and local wildlife.
The park is located in Hanau and operates daily with established paths connecting the different animal enclosures. The grounds are hilly and require sturdy footwear, especially after rain.
The park features dedicated observation areas for wolves where visitors can watch how these animals interact within their pack structures. These sections provide rare opportunities to witness how wolves communicate and live together as a group.
