Wildpark in Poing

Description:

• This privately-run wildlife park is a good alternative to Tierpark Hellabrunn, particularly in good weather. All types of local wildlife roam 50 hectares of land, which recreates their natural habitat as much as possible. There are many sorts of game including wild deer, stags, roes and rams as well as beasts of prey (in a separate enclosure) like foxes, polecats, martens and even lynx. Farm animals such as ponies, sheep and goats can be fed by the children, although you are not recommended to bring your own feed, as appropriate animal fodder is for sale. The birds of prey exhibition is particularly worth seeing, with a falconer talking about the various types of birds and demonstrating hunting and flying techniques. Access: via the motorway intersection to the east (Autobahnkreuz Ost), take the A94 towards Passau, turn off at the junction for Parsdorf or Poing and follow the signposts to the wildlife park.
