Wildpark

We visited a Wildpark in Kaiserslautern.  A large area was fenced off with different enclosures for the animals native to this area.  Most were very friendly so we had a lot of fun hiking around and feeding some of them.  The enclosures were quite large so we spent a couple of hours walking around and enjoying the beautiful forest as well as observing the animals.  

 I liked the deer.  These were bigger than the ones I usually see.

 Ally had a lot of fun feeding the goats.  I accidentally bought a bag of unsalted pretzels so I figured this was a good way to get rid of them!

 Nicole does not look thrilled.

 wild boar

Many of the boar had babies so we heard a lot of squealing from the little ones.

these looked like bison, not sure if they are the same as the North American ones.   

 a wild cat, it looks like a lynx.  You can see it peeking through the bushes.

Our favorite were the deer and goats.  They were very gentle and friendly, it was almost like a petting zoo.  

One of my usual problems with visiting places in Germany is the lack of information available.  I never know where to park, where to enter, how much it will cost, etc.  This park was easy to find, free, and with a good parking area (also free) with lots of signs so we couldn't get lost.  We will definitely be going there again!
