Wildpark Waldhaus Mehlmeisel

Wildpark Waldhaus Mehlmeisel, Wildlife park and zoo in Mehlmeisel, Germany.

Wildpark Waldhaus Mehlmeisel is a wildlife park on the slope of the Klausenberg southwest of Mehlmeisel in Upper Franconia. Its entrance building, designed by Peter Kuchenreuther and Martin Schinner, is modelled on the listed Einfirsthof farmhouse at the Grassemann open-air museum and also serves as an environmental education centre. Elevated paths lead past enclosures for lynx, wildcat, red and black game, roe deer, capercaillie, black grouse, squirrels and the rare snow hare, plus a petting zoo.

In 2004, a forest information centre called Waldhaus Mehlmeisel was built in cooperation with the Czech twin town Boží Dar; its design by Peter Kuchenreuther and Martin Schinner took the listed Einfirsthof at the Grassemann open-air museum as a model. In 2014, red and black game enclosures were expanded and supplemented with new ones in cooperation with the Karlovy Vary forestry operations. The park was a partner of the 2016 Bayreuth state garden show.

The park displays native animal species living in natural-style enclosures across its grounds. Visitors observe wild boars, lynx, and deer in areas designed to resemble their forest habitats.

The park lies on the slope of the Klausenberg, right by the Klausenturm, and is reached via a signposted access road from Mehlmeisel. The entrance building also serves as an environmental education centre. Several enclosures are viewed from elevated walkways built to plans by the Kuchenreuther office. The site is the starting point of several hiking trails, and the Rieselbach rises here.

Visitors can support individual animals through sponsorship programs and directly contribute to their care within the facility. These sponsorships connect people to the creatures and allow them to personally follow their wellbeing.
