Attractions at Wildpark Edersee
The Wildpark Edersee offers a variety of attractions for visitors. It features animal enclosures, including a large open-air enclosure where visitors can observe animals in a more natural setting. The park also has a petting zoo with goats and pot-bellied pigs, providing a fun and interactive experience for children. Additionally, there is a bird of prey station with a rescue and care station, where visitors can learn about these magnificent creatures and the efforts to conserve them.

Animal Species at Wildpark Edersee
The Wildpark Edersee is home to a diverse range of both native and foreign animal species. Visitors can expect to see grouse, deer, otters, various birds of prey, lynxes, wild boars, wild horses, bison, wolves, and goats. Some of these species, such as the grouse and deer, are no longer found in the wild in the northern Hessian region, making the park an important refuge for these animals.
"Greifenwarte Wildpark Edersee" Bird of Prey Station
One of the key features of the Wildpark Edersee is the "Greifenwarte Wildpark Edersee", a bird of prey station that has been in operation since the spring of 1997. This station is dedicated to the breeding of endangered species of birds of prey and also serves as a rescue and care center for injured and sick birds. After recovery, these birds are released back into the wild, contributing significantly to species conservation.
