Alternativer Bärenpark Worbis
Source

The Alternative Bärenpark Worbis is a free-range facility located on the outskirts of Leinefelde-Worbis in Thuringia's Eichsfeld. The park is home to bears, wolves, and various other animal species. It was established in 1996 by the initiative of the 'Aktion Bärenhilfswerk' on the site of the former municipal zoo.

Conservation Efforts at the Park

The Alternative Bärenpark Worbis sees itself as an animal, nature, and species conservation project. The main goals of the park are the natural keeping of animals of wild species and providing assistance for the survival of rare domestic animal breeds. This makes it a unique destination for those interested in wildlife and conservation efforts.

The Open Area of the Park

The core of the Alternative Bärenpark Worbis is the 8.5-hectare open area where the bears and a wolf pack reside. This area is covered with a beech forest and contains two ponds and a small meadow. A part of the enclosure is only accessible to the wolves, allowing them to be fed without disturbance from the bears.
