July 6, 2025,192. Ein tierisches Vergnügen im Wildgehege Hufeisen

Hello everyone,
Our energy levels were kind of low today, so we decided to take it easy. And where's the best place to do that? That's right, at the Hufeisen Wildlife Park in the Veldenstein Forest in Franconian Switzerland.

There, wild boars, red deer, and roe deer, among others, are waiting to be fed. It's a great place for children …

A small wildlife enclosure ideal for children. The animals roam freely and there's a lovely playground.

After the fog only cleared around noon today, we only did one lap through the wildlife park. Afterwards we visited Inge in the Easter cave and treated ourselves to a delicious snack 🥨🧀🍻🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏽‍♂️

Small but nice wildlife park. The round takes about 1 hour. With a playground, the stay is obviously longer 😅. At 3 euros entry for adults, that's more than fair. Kids are free.
