Some of the more frwuently seen animals here are Chamois, mountain goats, deer, wild boar, Roe deer, groundhogs, and a wide variety of predators such as kestrels, screech-owl, European Scops owl, peregrine and owls. In addition to the above mentioned species you can witness the Mountain Phasianus- a pheasant bird introduced into the ecosystem of the park right before the winter closing.

The wildlife park visits are not free, but until the end of the summer season it will be open evry day from 9:30 untill 6PM. A special yet simple route is laid out for all the visitors. The route stretches out for about 1 kilometer and passes along water and food racks, as well as hay composts and other food that can attract animals. In addition to the route there is a playground for kids and a picninc area.
