This expansive area, nestled between the towns of Neuschönau and Altschönau, features large enclosures and aviaries designed to house around 40 different species of mammals and birds native to the region. Visitors can observe animals such as lynx, wolves, brown bears, bison, otters, and various owl species in habitats that mimic their natural environment.

The Tier-Freigelände offers a network of visitor paths, with the main route stretching approximately 7 kilometers and taking around 3 to 4 hours to complete. For those with less time, shorter routes are available. The trails are designed to be accessible for strollers and wheelchairs, and are cleared in winter. Informational panels along the way offer insights into the animals' behaviors and characteristics. The Tier-Freigelände is part of the larger Nationalparkzentrum Lusen, which also includes the Hans-Eisenmann-Haus visitor center, the Baumwipfelpfad (Treetop Walkway), and geological exhibits.
