Wildpark Diedrichsburg, Animal park near Diedrichsburg castle in Melle, Germany.
Wildpark Diedrichsburg is an animal park spanning about 200 hectares of forest with natural habitats for wild boars and fallow deer living at elevations between 139 and 218 meters. The grounds feature walking trails that wind through the wooded landscape and connect different sections with open viewing areas.
The park grounds belonged to the Ostenwalde estate from the 14th century and later became headquarters for Field Marshal Montgomery after World War II. This history continues to shape the appearance and layout of the site.
The park displays wild boars and deer in their natural setting, with marked observation points where visitors can watch the animals up close. These locations teach about the lives of native forest animals and how they change throughout the seasons.
The park opens daily from 11 AM with closing times varying by season, and entry is free. The numerous walking trails are easy to navigate, but sturdy footwear is recommended and visitors should allow plenty of time for a full tour.
The park is home to up to 150 wild boars that you can observe along walking trails, with the animals being most active in early morning or late evening hours. This natural activity makes an early or evening arrival particularly rewarding for wildlife watching.
