Wildpark Schloss Tambach, Wildlife park at Schloss Tambach, Weitramsdorf, Germany.
Wildpark Schloss Tambach is a wildlife park in Weitramsdorf, Bavaria, where native and European wild animals such as otters, lynx, bison, mouflon, and muntjac deer are kept in open enclosures set within forested hillsides. The grounds cover a mix of wooded slopes and clearings, with signposted paths connecting the different animal areas across the terrain.
The land was originally part of the estate surrounding Schloss Tambach, a noble property with roots going back several centuries. During the 20th century, the grounds shifted away from their role as a private estate and were gradually opened as a space for European wildlife.
The park gives visitors a chance to see animals that are rarely spotted in the wild in central Europe, such as lynx and bison, at close range. Feeding times draw small groups around the enclosures and offer a direct look at how the animals are cared for day to day.
The park is explored entirely on foot along marked trails through hilly and sometimes muddy woodland, so sturdy shoes are a good idea. Animals tend to be more active in the morning, so arriving early in the day usually gives the best chance of seeing them moving around.
The castle building is visible from several points inside the park, standing behind the animal enclosures in a way that few visitors expect when they arrive. Watching bison graze with a centuries-old manor as a backdrop is something that stays with most people after the visit.
