    Experience wildly exciting moments with animals

    There’s never a dull moment at Der Wilde Berg in Mautern – you can look forward to wild moments, fast downhill rides, fun and games!

    Around 300 Alpine animals welcome visitors to the wildlife park in Mautern. Feeding times and the birds of prey show offer exciting insights into the secrets of the animal world, and at the children’s farm you can even pet the animals.

    Fun and play await at Kinderstadl with a giant slide, climbing tower and a hay barn where kids can run around and jump. Active children will love the adventure playground with meter-high slides, swings, carousels and water attractions – some subject to a fee. When hunger strikes, our restaurant offers especially attractive, child-friendly options.

    The wildlife park

    About 300 Alpine animals welcome you to their home at 1,100 m above sea level. Alongside bears, wolves, owls, donkeys and ibex, many other animal residents are waiting to be explored and admired.

    In the Bird of Prey World, you can admire the kings of the sky during our 45-minute birds of prey show. Find out what our animals really enjoy eating at the three daily feeding sessions.

    The animals at the children's farm are already waiting for a cuddle:

    For example, our rabbits with their cute floppy ears! The little goats are happy about food, and our two pot-bellied pig ladies Lea and Trixi are delighted by brave visitors who give them a pat.

    We also have mice, chickens and even rats living here in their own room!

    A fast ride back to the valley

    From the middle station, there are 4 different ways back down to the valley:

    Mountain cart
    You can also have plenty of fun on three wheels: our mountain carts are specially designed go-karts that let you roll back down to the valley in comfort or at a slightly faster pace along the 1.6 km forest road with 12 bends.

    Wiesengleiter
    Over 25 bends and 2 underpasses, the summer toboggan run winds down Der Wilde Berg with a vertical drop of 240 m. Fast or slow, alone or in pairs – just as you like, you glide safely to the valley between forest and meadows.

    Forest hiking trail
    On the hike down to the valley, you’ll encounter individual stations on the themes of wood, forest and nature. In the scent house, learn about the unique effect of Swiss stone pine wood, or discover your musical talent at our tree drums.

    Chairlift
    Of course, you can also glide back down to the valley by chairlift.
