Wildpark Feldkirch, an enduring attraction on the Ardetzenberg mountain since 1963, originated from a vision to connect people with local wildlife. What began with a single Alpine ibex named Felix has grown into a sanctuary for over 160 animals across 26 species. The park's spacious enclosures house red deer, wild boars, lynx, and more, providing insights into their natural behaviors.
Visitors can explore the park via several hiking trails, suitable for all ages, that wind through the forested landscape. A popular playground sits at the heart of the park, offering children a space to play. The Kiosk der Lebenshilfe offers snacks and refreshments, while a grill area near the red deer enclosure provides a space for picnics. The park is open 365 days a year and offers free admission, sustained by donations and support from the community and even the nearby country of Liechtenstein.
