But what is there to discover here?

Endangered wild and farm animals 
LandPark Lauenbrück is home to 200 wild and farm animals in spacious enclosures and large barns. Many of these breeds are threatened with extinction, such as the woolly pigs, aurochs, and Zwartbless sheep. It is very important to us to ensure the survival of these endangered species and to work toward their conservation. You can also get up close and personal with some of the animals—whether petting the goats and donkeys or visiting the fallow deer enclosure.

Play areas for all ages—and even for dogs
As you walk through the zoo, there are plenty of opportunities to play along the way. The play areas—such as the low ropes course, the swing forest, the knight’s castle, and the giant dune—blend beautifully into the forest and meadow landscape. Here, people of all ages can climb to their heart’s content, swing together or alone, or take a ride on the zip line. Dogs are also very welcome at LandPark Lauenbrück. There’s a special dog play forest.
 
A park landscape for relaxation
The lovingly landscaped flower beds, ponds, and naturally growing areas are also a feast for the eyes. Whether it’s a raised garden bed or a barefoot trail, each landscape offers its own sensory experiences. Our visitors can discover wonderfully fragrant herbs in many places or even pick berries straight from the bush—snacking is expressly allowed here. Loungers, seating areas, and shelters offer plenty of opportunities to linger, relax, have a picnic, or sunbathe, 

Activities for families, children’s birthday parties, and groups
Whether you’re exploring on your own or under expert guidance from nature education specialists. The Landpark team plans the excursion for young and old individually, based on group size, age, and interests. The website features  materials such as puzzles, coloring pages, games, etc., for families to download and print at home. These can be used during your visit to the park.
