A trip to the wildlife park is an exciting experience for animal lovers of all ages. Red deer, wolves, and more can be observed in their natural environment, and the fresh air can be enjoyed to the fullest. The following article introduces the Wildpark Poing, and its inhabitants, in a little more detail.
Wildpark Poing near Munich
The Wildpark Poing near Munich is a perfect family excursion destination that you should definitely not miss. Since the wildlife park is located in a forest and the paths are not paved, you should wear good footwear to be prepared for potentially muddy ground.
As is fitting for a genuine wildlife park, the occasional root may stick out of the ground. With an all-terrain stroller, e.g., the Easy Walker Sky from Amazon, a visit with smaller children and a stroller is no problem at all.
If you visit Wildpark Poing with children, you should plan for a whole afternoon to be able to enjoy all the animals and the impressive surroundings without stress.
Tour of Wildpark Poing
It is difficult to get lost in Wildpark Poing; there is a beautiful circular path that automatically leads visitors back to the entrance. You can buy bags of feed for the animals at the ticket office or at the numerous feeding stations found throughout the wildlife park.
For children, feeding the animals is a special experience, and since the animals are very tame, they come willingly and eat the food right out of your hand.
The tour through the wildlife park begins with the red deer, a rabbit petting enclosure, and the wolves; these are, of course, kept behind a fence. The path continues to the fallow and mouflon; these roam freely and offer children their first opportunity to feed the animals.
You should keep smaller children away from the young bucks; they are sometimes quite high-spirited and might simply push the little ones over.
After that, you continue to the waterfowl. This enclosure is also fenced off, but this does not restrict the viewing experience.
A visit to the storks is very interesting; where else do you see them so close up! In the wetland habitat of the animal park, you can watch beavers and others playing happily. Passing by aviaries with beautiful parakeets and wild birds, the path continues through the wildlife park to the pony farm. Here, you can feed and pet them again to your heart's content.
The path leads a little steeply uphill to the bear enclosure. Since the enclosure is quite large and overgrown with many trees, it takes a bit of luck to actually find the bears. You have more luck with the subsequent moose.
Walking back down the path, you come to the birds of prey. Here, flight demonstrations take place several times a day, which are very impressive and truly interesting, especially for children.
Refreshments at Wildpark Poing
Half of the wildlife park is already done. Now you can treat yourself to a small snack at the kiosk or simply eat what you brought with you on the picnic meadow.
If the children need a little break, you can let them play on the playground or water playground right away.
Right opposite is the poultry farm of the wildlife park, where the domestic poultry is housed. Now it's time for more energy; we continue to the , sheep. The right time to take out the feed bag. Although the sheep are already quite round, they are still constantly hungry!Passing by aviaries with parakeets and rabbits, we continue to the
wild boars of the animal park. You'd better not reach in here, because a wild boar can bite quite hard!Also very impressive are the European bison housed in an enclosure further on, also
called wisent; unfortunately, they are quite shy and you rarely get to see them. At the pot-bellied pigs you can feed again; the little cute pigs and the dwarf goats are simply insatiable.Now you can observe the
fox, which you usually don't see during the day; the lynx is also unfortunately very rarely seen. We continue to the deer enclosure, which connects directly to the wolf enclosure and the entrance area of the animal park. A pity, because here the tour through the animal park ends.Family excursion to Wildpark Poing
The Wildpark Poing is so beautiful because the children can
feed a large part of the animals by hand themselves, especially the horses and goats can even be petted. On the large playground, the children can romp and play wonderfully. Otherwise, you can actually let the little ones run around the entire park without fear. Although the children should in principle move within reach of their parents; if they do run a little bit away, there are no great dangers lurking here. After such an afternoon, the children will fall into bed dead tired, but richer by many experiences. A visit to the wildlife park is therefore a really beautiful excursion destination for the entire family.Wildpark Poing – Detailed information
