If you fancy a nice trip into nature and want to visit a special animal enclosure, then a trip to the beautiful Wolftal is just right for families with children.
It is a very special experience that awaits you here. The park offers nine bears a beautiful, natural new home. It is the only one of its kind in all of southern Germany. In addition to the bears, the park also has three wolves named Anita, Adi and Ado. The park is in an idyllic location on the Fegersbächle, between the two districts of Bad Rippoldsau and Schapbach. In magnificent nature you can make exciting animal observations and learn many new things about bears and wolves at educational information stands and boards.
