Wildpark Bad Marienberg, Wildlife park in Bad Marienberg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
Wildpark Bad Marienberg is a wildlife park set in forests and meadows where visitors walk along a circular path to view enclosures containing wild boars, deer, wisents, llamas, and raccoons. The route is wheelchair-accessible and takes people through the entire grounds at a comfortable pace.
The sources do not record a founding date for the wildlife park. The Hedwigsturm, a 17.3-metre hexagonal steel observation tower, was erected at the park's edge in 2008; its open steel frame recalls a hexagonal basalt column. The park lies on the Zinhainer Höhe at the western edge of Bad Marienberg, and its four-kilometre circular path forms part of the Westerwaldsteig trail.
The circular route is part of the Westerwaldsteig long-distance trail, so hikers pass through the grounds alongside day visitors. At the edge of the park stands the Hedwigsturm, a 17.3-metre hexagonal steel tower erected in 2008 whose open frame echoes a basalt column; from its top at 550 m above sea level the view reaches the Westerwald, Siebengebirge, Taunus and Eifel.
The entire wildlife park is open year-round and free of charge. A four-kilometre circular trail runs through the forest and meadow terrain and forms part of the Westerwaldsteig long-distance path. The park lies on the Zinhainer Höhe at the western edge of Bad Marienberg.
