Wildgehege Moritzburg, Wildlife park in Moritzburg, Germany
Wildgehege Moritzburg is a wildlife park covering around 40 hectares with open-air enclosures housing more than 30 animal species in natural settings. Visitors can observe deer, moose, lynx, pheasants, and otters across different sections of the grounds.
The park traces its origins to an animal garden founded between 1693 and 1694 by Elector Johann Georg IV. It began as a facility connected to royal hunting practices, with remnants of its original stone walls still visible today.
The facility takes its name from the deer enclosures that served hunting interests for nobility. The layout and divisions still reflect this original purpose today.
The park is open year-round and can be explored on foot using well-maintained, level paths throughout the grounds. Plan time for animal observation, as wildlife activity varies depending on the time of day and weather conditions.
The facility participates in breeding programs for European bison and maintains bulls whose offspring can strengthen wild populations. While this conservation work is not immediately visible to visitors, it plays a role in recovering this threatened species.
