Wildpark Knüll

Wildpark Knüll is a wildlife park and zoo spread across more than 50 hectares of natural terrain, where around 450 animals from about 40 species live in spacious enclosures. The site uses the rolling landscape of the region, providing the animals with room among trees, meadows, and natural features.

The park was founded in 1968 and has grown into an important destination for wildlife encounters in the region. It is managed by the Schwalm-Eder district youth facilities and has expanded steadily over the decades.

The park's name comes from the Knüll mountain range in the region, and it uses the natural landscape to house animals in spacious habitats. Visitors experience the connection between people and nature by observing wildlife in a setting that mimics their natural surroundings.

The park is open regularly and easy to explore on foot, with paths leading through the different enclosure areas. Dogs are not allowed, as free-roaming wildlife moves throughout the grounds.

A young brown bear named Linnea, born in 2024, lives together with her mother Onni and wolves in a large enclosure. This demonstrates how different species can coexist in the facility.
