Located right near the Grossglockner High Alpine Road toll station, this cute little wildlife park…read moreis a perfect stop before or after your drive. It's 15 Euros per adult for entry. We went 1.5 hour before closing and the park was relatively quiet, perfect for enjoying a chill walk around the park. There are signs with facts for each animal species with some English translations that were pretty basic but fun to read.
Compared to zoos, these animals seem to have a larger living area (except for the birds), roaming the alpine landscape. The mischievous marmots were running free around the park between pens, and we were pleasantly surprised with the hoofed animal area where we could walk next to elk and deer. Pretty unreal when a sturdy buck with large antlers or a line of deer crosses your path!
I was really happy with our visit-- super cool to be so close to the deer and elk, say hi to some furry friends, and see the animals in happy conditions. You can also buy animal feed (just read the sign to see who you can and cannot feed!). Be sure to stop by if you like animals! :)
