I was really disappointed with this place - I thought it was a zoo, but as it turns out it isn't,…read moreit is a park that happened to have once been the zoo but the zoo has long since been removed. Mind you, it isn't the parks fault that I was misled, namely because I didn't do any research to actually find out what was actually here, but simply accepted the name blindly, and proceeded to tell my brother that we were going to visit the zoo. As a park it is nice, and it does have some animals running around - not just dogs, but also birds, and a rather large lake. However, don't be fooled by the name like I was - it's just a park to relax in (when it isn't raining).

Okay, I didn't get to see all of the gardens, but then again this place is basically a park, well sort of - there doesn't seem to be any open spaces for picnics, but then again that probably isn't a German thing and I probably can't compare parks in Australia to those in Germany even though the park was establishd a while back in my mind it is a park, probably not hugely touristy, but nice enough for an afternoon stroll. Oh, it also has a pretty large lake with birds in it so alles gute.

Wondered why it was hard to find much about the Wildpark on…read morethe internet or tourist guides to the areaturns out there is very little to see here. I'd managed to see a couple of animals (some Rotwild and Wildschweinen) but was thinking about having a beer somewhere not particularly enjoying myself when my path was blocked by a couple of large vehicles and a bunch of guys stood around with chainsaws looking (and I suppose in a way sounding) like a group of really bad guitaristsgiving some wood hell. The cacophonous output from this barrier was the final straw and I got out of there.

Not much for seating but on a sunny summer day, perhaps brink a blanket for a picnic. The centerpiece of the garden is a sculpture of a woman holding a jug on her head. According to my guide, a Jewish artist who fled Germany during the war. The sculpture was nearly destroyed by the Nazis but purchased by a woman who kept it and since donated it back to the city for display. On a wet November morning, the fountain is drained for the season. But still a pretty park.
