Tierpark Hexentanzplatz, Zoo near Bodetal Nature Reserve, Thale, Germany
The Tierpark Hexentanzplatz extends across 19.5 hectares of beech-oak forest, providing habitats for 350 animals from 65 different species native to the Harz region.
Founded in 1973, the zoo originated from a former bear enclosure and developed into a conservation center focusing on regional wildlife protection and breeding programs.
The park maintains strong connections with local traditions through its location on Hexentanzplatz, a plateau historically associated with German folklore and regional celebrations.
Visitors can access the park daily from 10:00 to 16:30 in winter months and 9:00 to 18:00 during summer, with admission prices of 9 euros for adults and 6 euros for children.
The facility includes a 5,000-square-meter bear habitat and a 3,000-square-meter wolf enclosure, allowing animals to live in conditions that mirror their natural environment.
