Budakeszi Game Preserve

Budakeszi Game Preserve is a wildlife park spread across forest grounds that houses more than 50 species native to the Carpathian Basin. The animals include lynx, bears, and eagles, each living in spacious woodland enclosures.

The preserve was established in 1979 and began organized wildlife conservation efforts in the Budapest metropolitan area. Its creation helped protect endangered species and raise awareness about forest ecosystems.

The preserve showcases animals living in their natural setting and provides insight into how Carpathian wildlife exists and behaves. Visitors observe feeding sessions and learn how the forest ecosystem works.

The grounds feature observation towers and posts at multiple locations, allowing visitors to watch animals from different vantage points. A visit works best with comfortable walking shoes and time to explore the forest pathways.

The grounds offer multiple forest pathways with different focal points, allowing visitors to see animals across various habitats. This variety makes each visit different depending on which route someone takes through the preserve.
