Wildlife in the Lüneburg Heath

Wildpark Lüneburger Heide

The Wildpark Lüneburger Heide is one of the two wildlife parks in direct proximity to the hanseatic city of Hamburg and thus one of the excursion destinations of my childhood. It was always the less popular park, as it lacks a huge playground and free-running pot-bellied pigs. Nowadays, the criteria are a bit different.

The biggest advantage of the park is its reasonably flat terrain. In contrast to the Wildpark Schwarze Berge you don’t need to climb down steeper pathways. Depending on the chosen round tour you can spend up to two hours and more within the park. You need longer, if you watch all the shows and attend all of the animal feedings.

The animals shown are limited to a large proportion of native wild animals, as the name of the park suggests. However, there is also a generous tiger and brown bear enclosure and peacocks run free within the park. In general, the enclosures are very generously designed and well visible through the round tour. The animals are mostly curious and begging for food. But be careful when you provide some of the food to an ostrich, as they pick it up quite rapidly and without any warning.

Conclusion

Compared to the other animal parks in the Lüneburg Heath, the Wildpark Lüneburger Heide can only score due to its untouched landscape. However,  a glimpse of the wild life of the Lüneburg Heath does not hurt; neither your wallet, nor the interested animals friend. The offer, outside the numerous animal enclosures, could be higher and more qualitative. Nevertheless, if you just have a few hours to spend the park is definitely worth a visit.

A visit to the Affen- und Vogelpark

Affen- und Vogelpark Eckenhagen

After visiting the McPlay Freudenberg, we continued to the Affen- und Vogelpark in Eckenhagen. As black storm clouds all over North Rhine Westphalia decorated the sky, I was glad to have some blue sky above my head when I entered the park.

The enclosures in the animal park Affen- und Vogelpark make a really nice impression and around the park, there are free-running chickens. I knew something like this only with the pot-bellied pigs from the Wildpark Schwarze Berge , but chickens were something new for me.

After I took the tram down the mountain, I already saw the object of my desire: The Heege Butterfly, which unfortunately cost 50cents. In this corner you will also find another some other exotic rides by Heege and other playground equipment from their product catalog.

When I reached my goal, I wanted to explore the rest of the park, but the weather was against me. I had some fun with some of the monkeys and a Sulfur-crested Cockatoo who was constantly singing ChaChaCha. As tame as the bird was, he apparently longed for a partner. Luckily, he has not learned any curse words from the park guests and therefore entertains a quite family-friendly.

Shortly afterwards the storm broke over me. The rain was pouring, it was hailing and lightning went down just few meters of me. Since I did not feel comfortable with this situation, I decided to head back for Hamburg. I had some food at the park’s indoor hall and also enjoyed a ride on the the Heege airtime swing.

When I left the park, the sun shone brightly. All of the park’s unpaved paths went very muddy, so I left out the whole left park section where the outdoor enclosure for the monkeys is located. The Affen- und Vogelpark is a nice smaller animal park, which is worth a visit when you are nearby.
