August 7, 2025, Wildpark und Waldhaus Mehlmeisel

A very beautiful wildlife park in Mehlmeisel (Fichtelberg), an interesting visit for adults and children alike. However, you should definitely be there for the guided tour and feeding. The staff are very attentive to feeding and explaining the animals. Another highlight for children are the goats and sheep that can be petted and fed. Guided tours and feedings are available daily from 2:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.
