Wildpark Brudergrund, Wildlife park in Erbach, Germany.
Wildpark Brudergrund is a wildlife park in the Odenwald region that covers 14 hectares of mixed forest with two large lakes and a stream running through it. The grounds provide habitat for red deer, fallow deer, and mouflon that visitors can observe throughout the area.
The grounds were originally a noble hunting reserve before being transformed into a public recreational area in 1956 under the initiative of Count Franz II of Erbach-Erbach. This change turned the location from a private to an accessible space for the public.
The remains of a medieval chapel from 1200, called Not Gottes, stands on the grounds and is still used for outdoor services during summer evenings. This sacred site connects the past with present community practices.
The park provides free parking and accessible restrooms, along with picnic tables and a rental barbecue area for visitors. The paths are designed for animal observation and relatively easy to walk.
Information boards along nature trails explain forest habitats, wildlife, and hunting practices in accessible ways for visitors. The two artificial lakes in the park attract numerous ducks and swans, drawing the attention of bird watchers.
