How do otters, wolves, and eagles live together in our region? What are the relationships between the soil, plants, animals, and people? What does sustainability and nature conservation mean for our environment? Visitors can discover the answers to these fascinating questions with a visit to the Eekholt Wilderness Park. The nature experience centre combines education with a chance to experience the beauty and diversity of nature.
More than 700 animals from 100 different species live in their native habitat in this 67-hectare park.

Themed houses like the stork house, observation huts and information pavilions complete the offer, as do the children's playground and the nature playground. Children especially love the petting area. Flight demonstrations are a special highlight of any visit. An exciting show teaches visitors about the flight and hunting techniques of different birds of prey.
