Wildpark Tannenbusch, Wildlife park in Dormagen, Germany
Wildpark Tannenbusch is a 20-hectare wildlife park in Dormagen-Delhoven, opened in 1958 and run by the Stadtbad- und Verkehrsgesellschaft Dormagen. It keeps about 200 animals of 25 native or formerly native species, mainly red deer, fallow deer and mouflon, plus wild boar and Heck horses. Two ponds hold waterfowl and storks, and a pheasantry houses golden pheasants, chickens and capercaillie.
Wildpark Tannenbusch opened in 1958 on a 20-hectare site in Dormagen-Delhoven and is run by the Stadtbad- und Verkehrsgesellschaft Dormagen. In 1972 a forest education centre was added, later named Haus Tannenbusch. The adjacent Geopark opened in 1980, and eight years later the Spurensuche project set up information stations on nature and the environment throughout the forest.
The park is a place where visitors observe native animals in settings that resemble their natural environments. Walking through, you see deer, wild boar, and other regional species living as they would in the wild.
The park covers 20 hectares and is open all year round. A three-kilometre fitness trail runs through the forest, with sporting tasks to complete along the way. The grounds also hold a forest kindergarten and a petting zoo, and the adjacent geopark opened in 1980.
The grounds feature a geological education trail where regional rock formations are displayed with explanatory panels. This path shows the different types of stone found naturally in the region.
