Wildpark Feldkirch: A Natural Escape

Wildpark Feldkirch, established in 1963, provides a unique opportunity to observe native animals in a natural setting. The park spans a 10-hectare area on the Ardetzenberg, offering panoramic views and a tranquil atmosphere. Visitors can explore diverse species such as deer, wild cats, miniature pigs, and various types of wild animals. The park is home to over 160 animals from 26 species. Observation platforms provide excellent views of the lynx and American timberwolf enclosures. A petting zoo with dwarf goats offers a hands-on experience for children. The park also features a nature trail with informative panels, enhancing the educational aspect of the visit. The Wildpark's history is rooted in a local initiative to connect people with the region's wildlife. Starting with a single rescued ibex named Felix, the park has grown into a beloved recreational area supported by the community and even neighboring Liechtenstein. Beyond the animals, Wildpark Feldkirch provides amenities such as a large adventure playground, making it particularly appealing to families. A kiosk operated by Lebenshilfe Vorarlberg offers snacks and refreshments, providing employment opportunities for people with disabilities. The park also has a grill place available. Open year-round with free admission, Wildpark Feldkirch welcomes visitors to explore its trails, observe its animals, and enjoy a peaceful retreat in nature. Donations are appreciated to support the park's maintenance and animal care.
