Wildpark Schorfheide, Wildlife park in Groß Schönebeck, Germany.
Wildpark Schorfheide spreads across a large forest area with open enclosures where visitors can observe deer, wild boar, and other native animals in natural settings. A well-developed path network runs through different park sections and brings visitors close to the wildlife.
Wildpark Schorfheide opened in 1996 on 105 hectares at the edge of the Schorfheide, within the Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve near Groß Schönebeck. From the start it combined displays of native wildlife such as red deer, wild boar and European mouflon with the keeping and breeding of rare domestic breeds threatened with extinction, among them the Rauhwolliges Pommersches Landschaf sheep and the Mangalitza wool pig.
The park features multiple wolf viewing areas where visitors learn how these animals have returned to Brandenburg's forests in recent decades. Throughout the grounds, enclosures display other native species that once roamed this region naturally.
The park is open year-round but has different hours depending on the season, so checking before your visit is wise. Sturdy footwear is essential since paths wind through forest and over uneven ground.
Alongside wild species, the park keeps and breeds rare domestic breeds threatened with extinction, among them the Rauhwollige Pommersche Landschaf sheep and the Mangalitza wool pig. Visitors can see these animals in the enclosures near the 7-kilometre trail network.
