Wildpark Feldkirch: A Natural Escape
Discover over 160 animals in their natural habitat at Wildpark Feldkirch. Enjoy free admission, scenic trails, and family fun in the Austrian Alps.
Wildpark Feldkirch, a beloved family destination in Vorarlberg since 1963, began as the vision of Karl Lampert, who sought to connect people with native wildlife. What started with a single alpine ibex named Felix has grown into a 10-hectare park hosting over 160 animals from 26 different species. Visitors can explore the park's well-maintained trails, observing animals such as deer, wildcats, and miniature pigs in their natural habitats. The park also features a large playground nestled in the forest, a favorite spot for children, and a grill area near the red deer enclosure. Informative signs throughout the park provide insights into the animals and their ecosystems. The Wildpark is dedicated to conservation and education, offering guided tours led by certified forest and hunting guides. The Kiosk, managed by Lebenshilfe Vorarlberg, provides refreshments and snacks, while also creating valuable job opportunities for people with disabilities. Wildpark Feldkirch is open 365 days a year and provides a memorable nature experience for all.
