With a little luck you can watch the wild horses or the beautiful peacock goats. In addition, the sandy paths around the enclosure (cycling prohibited) are lovely.

A large enclosure is available to the wild horses, in which they ensure that the open spaces are preserved.

The Nuremberg Reichswald has been intensively used and changed by people for centuries. Today it is one of the most important local recreation areas in the metropolitan region of Nuremberg. You can undertake a variety of leisure activities such as cycling or hiking in this large, connected forest area. Pine forests, which are currently being converted into stable mixed forests with lots of hardwood, are characteristic. For many families, our fallow deer enclosure is one of the most popular visitor spots. You can observe the small deer, which are quite shy in the wild, in their natural habitat. Fallow deer originally comes from Asia and was naturalized with us in the Middle Ages. On a large meadow and in a small tree-lined area, they frolic all day long and have a good time. In the spring, when the calves are born and the forest turns green, or in the fall, when the fallow deer rut begins and the leaves change color, the fallow deer enclosure offers you the most impressive insights into the life of this wild species. You can get a good overview of the enclosure from the observation platform https://www.baysf.de/de/wald-erkunden/excursion-targets-tips/das-damwildgehege-im-nuernberger-reichswald.html
