Wildgehege Moritzburg, Wildlife park in Moritzburg, Germany
The 40-hectare wildlife park features natural enclosures housing over 30 animal species, including deer, moose, lynx, golden pheasants, and otters.
The park originated from the Old Animal Garden, established between 1693 and 1694 by Elector Johann Georg IV, with parts of original stone walls still standing.
The wildlife park contributes to European bison breeding programs and maintains several bulls that can support free-living herds through genetic diversity.
The facility opens daily from 9:00 to 18:00 in summer and 9:00 to 16:00 in winter, with adult tickets priced at 5 euros and child tickets at 2.50 euros.
Visitors can join zookeepers during feeding rounds at 13:30, starting at the lynx enclosure for an educational experience with the animals.

Saxony holds numerous destinations beyond the usual tourist routes. The region contains medieval castles, expansive natural landscapes and technical monuments from different centuries. The Saxon Switzerland area with its Bastei Bridge and sandstone formations attracts hikers, while the Albrechtsburg in Meißen and Königstein Fortress display historic architecture. Castles such as Kriebstein, Moritzburg and Weesenstein document various periods of German building tradition. The Ore Mountains house technical museums including the Frohnauer Hammer and Seiffen Toy Museum, which provide insight into traditional craftsmanship. The Glashütte Watch Museum presents the development of German watchmaking. The Göltzschtal Bridge in Vogtland demonstrates 19th century engineering. Natural areas like the Upper Lusatian Heath and Pond Landscape and smaller destinations such as Tiefenbach Waterfall round out the offerings. Dresden provides not only the Zwinger but also Pillnitz Palace and the Blue Wonder Bridge.
