Südliche weinstraße wildlife park — Attraction in Haßloch

It is a good park for families with kids but it seriously lacks toilets and places to buy water and/or food so it requires some strategic planning before embarking on the "journey" through the park.

We visited as tourists on a day in the middle of a heat wave. We had never visited before and after having paid the entry fee we walked along at our own pace.

After having reached the top of the park (it's quite a steep walk, so anyone with problematic hips or knees should be warned), we were very sweaty and started looking for a place to buy some water... We walked to the furthest part of the park in the hopes of the building we had seen was a kiosk.

Unfortunately it was just a picnic "house", so no water or food.

Next to the picnic area we saw a mother helping her young kid use a tree as a toilet since the park also does not have a single toilet besides the ones at the entrance.

We started walking back along the route where we would see the rest of the animals - and still no water.

1,5 km further walking down the hill we reached the entrance after having walking in the baking sun with very limited options for shaded benches in this last part of the trek.

At the entrance we were now VERY thirsty and hungry, so we bought lunch and drinks at the restaurant which is the ONLY place in the park to buy ANYTHING to eat/drink.

The food was awful and very overpriced compared to its quality.

There was no information/warning at the entrance about not being able to buy water elsewhere in the park and no info about the toilets at the entrance being the only ones...

A fantastic destination for families, nature lovers, and anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful day outdoors with up-close encounters with animals native to the region.

The park is set in a beautiful forested area, offering well-marked walking trails that take you through large, natural enclosures where deer, wild boars, mouflons, and other animals roam freely.

It’s an especially great experience for children, who can feed some of the animals with approved feed sold at the entrance.

The park also features a petting zoo, a small playground, and a cozy café with outdoor seating where you can relax after your walk. Most of the paths are stroller- and kid-friendly, though some sections may be uneven or slightly uphill, so good walking shoes are recommended.

Keep in mind that the park is quite spread out, so plan for a couple of hours to make the most of your visit.

There’s ample parking available, but it can fill up on weekends and holidays, so arriving early is a good idea.

Bring cash, as not all food or entrance kiosks accept cards. You can buy tickets with cards.

Also note that dogs are not allowed.

Overall, it’s a laid-back, scenic experience that’s both...

I don't think goats, sheep, chickens and pony's really count as wildlife. But it's rather nice for children to be able to pet the goats, so there is that. The wolves are really cool, though I do think their enclosure is a bit on the small side. It's also very cool being able to walk amongst the deer and to experience them up close. The Wissent and single horse aren't really all that spectacular, and the owls are rather hard to spot (being night creatures, they're probably asleep).

The first part of the large tour is rather packed with animals, while the final part is a really steep climb and descent with nothing interesting really.

The playgrounds are a nice addition so the parents can finally relax a bit, while the children play around.

Prices for drinks and ice...
