    Wildgehege Neandertal is worth a visit because of the opportunity to see many animals in their natural habitat and enjoy the beautiful nature.

    The Neandertal is probably one of the most well-known places in the world and therefore a destination that attracts a lot of visitors. Apart from the Neanderthal man who was found 160 years ago the valley is a place of excursions for nature-lovers and hikers alike. The Neanderthal Museum, the place of discovery and the ice-age game reserve near the river Düssel are suitable for a full-day excursion.

    It is nice place to visit a ne go for a 1-2 tours walk , also seeing wild animals there. On sundays, not airways but.mostly and when the weather is good, small imbiss is open for food to go. The beste is Spanferkel im brötchen , hihgly recommended. But now in Winter they have also Glühwein to go.😁 in Summer bigger offer in food and all very good and nice portions.

    Very beautiful place. I felt very close to nature. There were a lot of different animals. It could be very interesting place for children.

    It is a nice little wildlife park. There are just three types of animals which is not bad at all. They have huge areas to themselves. Wisents, aurochs and tarpans (a stoneage wild horse) are in good shape and impressive to look at. The park can be overlooked nicely from the hills around. I found it very relaxing.

    Really nice place for a walk, and special attractions for the kids

  • 5/5 Lisa F. 2 years ago on Google • 23 reviews
    Awesome! A little disappointed the Wisents were not as readily viewable as i would like. Signs were very educational and it was a nice walk. Was there in the rain: it was good i had hiking boots for that!

    It is a very nice place to walk around. You can have a perfect day here with a photo cam and some food for lunch.

    We didn't see any horses today! We saw a herd of bisons, some bees or flies nests some mice and interesting native birds. It is a good spot for riding a bicycle, although rather small by itself.

    (Translated by Google) A nice little game reserve where you can watch bisons, rear horses and rear cattle. In combination with a visit to the Neandertal Museum, it is definitely worth a visit!

    Great walk. Sign posted well

  • 5/5 Sylvia N. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is albeit as freedom and protection for the animals. The path is feasible for unconditioned hikers - if necessary, there are enough benches to rest. Rather not wheelchair accessible, unless you are used to roller coaster. However, there is no way to avoid a staircase, so you can't get any further without help. Otherwise, the game reserve is worth a visit. You can also sponsor the animals, admission: 0 euros (Original) Es ist wenn auch als gehege freiheit und schutz für die Tiere. Der Weg ist für nicht konditionierte Wanderer machbar - zur not auch genug Bänke zum ausruhen vorhanden. Rollstuhlgerecht eher nicht, es sei denn man ist es gewohnt Achterbahn zu fahren. Eine Treppe ist jedoch ohne ausweichmöglichkeit, daher kommt man ohne Hilfe nicht weiter. Ansonsten ist das wildgehege jedoch seinen Besuch wert. Pate von den Tieren kann man auch werden, Eintritt: 0 Euro

    (Translated by Google) A very nice circular route through the Neandertal. Auroch enclosure, horses and bison can be seen here. Uphill and downhill through nature. Is always well attended. There are opportunities to stop and if you want you can visit the Neandertal Museum, it's worth it. (Original) Ein sehr schöner Rundweg durch das Neandertal. Ein Auerochsengehege, Pferde und Wisente kann man hier sehen. Bergauf und bergab durch die Natur. Ist immer gut besucht. Möglichkeiten zum Einkehren sind da und wer möchte kann das Neandertalmuseum besuchen, es lohnt sich.

  • 5/5 Nathalie R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Always an experience embedded in hiking trails. Even if you can't always watch all the animals, you can go hiking along the game reserve. And if you keep your eyes open, you will also discover completely different animals, such as grass snake or red kite. We love stretching our legs here. A new enclosure for the European bison is currently under construction (Original) Eingebettet in Wanderwege immer wieder ein Erlebnis. Auch wenn man nicht immer alle Tiere beobachten kann, kann man entlang des Wildgeheges wunderbar wandern. Und wer die Augen offen hält, der entdeckt auch noch ganz andere Tiere, wie Ringelnatter oder Rotmilan. Wir lieben es, uns hier die Beine zu vertreten. Im Moment ist ein neues Gehege für die Wisente im Bau

  • 4/5 Nicole W. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Directions somewhat confusing and all animals were not there. Very strenuous for hiking. Would say level 3 because many paths led up before you went down again. Not for asthmatics (Original) Wegbeschreibung etwas unübersichtlich und alle Tiere waren nicht da. Zum Wandern sehr anstrengend. Würde mal sagen Stufe 3 weil viele Wege rauf führten bevor man dann wieder runter ging. Nichts für Asthmatiker

😐 On the one hand, it makes your heart bleed to see such beautiful vintage cars falling into disrepair, but on the other hand, it also creates a certain fascination. Children are free of charge and can take photos for free. Everyone has to decide for themselves whether it is worth paying €20 per perso...
