🦌 What is Eekholt Wildlife Park? • The park is located in Großenaspe near Bad Bramstedt and was founded in 1970. • Over 700 animals live in natural enclosures on approximately 67 hectares – including wolves, otters, eagle owls, wild cats, deer, birds of prey, and lots of wild boars with cute piglets. • The focus is on native species and environmental education – more like a forest than a safari, but with a truly clear conscience.

Eekholt Wildlife Park is a true natural highlight in the heart of Schleswig-Holstein – charming, educational, and surprisingly lively. You won't find elephants here, but you'll find wolves, wild boars, and plenty of "local stars" who would otherwise be seen in the forest rather than in the spotlight.

Beautiful spot on the Osterau. A narrow bridge takes you across the river. Pure idyll all around. You can also read all about the flora and fauna on the Osterau on information boards.
