Rotwildpark bei Stuttgart, Nature reserve in Stuttgart, Germany
Rotwildpark bei Stuttgart is a protected nature reserve near Stuttgart that spreads across extensive forest land with deer enclosures and offers visitors insight into wild animal life. The grounds include several lakes, older trees, and areas where deer and wild boars roam.
A king established this place in 1815 as an enclosure for red deer and other animals and charged visitors an entrance fee for many years. After political changes in 1918, the grounds opened to the public without fees.
The place takes its name from the red deer that have inhabited these woods for centuries and define the character of the forest. Visitors can observe the animals in their natural setting and understand how humans and wildlife coexist here.
Visitors can find parking along several roads and can easily arrive by public transport. A simple circular path goes around the enclosures and allows for comfortable walks through the grounds.
The grounds preserve rare tree species that are otherwise hard to find in the region and historical forest forms. A small area still shows traditional management methods today that you no longer see in modern forests.
