The wildlife park is an attraction that can be found on the 562 m high Potzberg.

Against a marvellous scenic backdrop, the 25-hectare park is home to ibex and sika deer, red deer, fallow deer and mouflon, wild boar and horses. Moose, raccoons, arctic foxes and all kinds of domestic animals, including goats and donkeys, can also be admired on the Potzberg.
The Potzberg Wildlife Park with its sensational birds of prey show is worth an adventure trip for the whole family.

The main attraction of the Potzberg Wildlife Park is the falconry. Free flights of royal eagles, mighty vultures, swift-as-an-arrow falcons, skilful kites and cunning buzzards take place there daily at 3 pm from the end of March to the end of October. Spectators can even actively participate, for example in the "hat theft". The flight show is fun and educational for adults and children alike and is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
