Stamp point 86 / bison enclosure

The bison enclosure is located in the 300-hectare wildlife park, which belongs to the Nordmann riding and sports hotel in Stangerode.

In addi­tion to nat­ur­al cat­tle breeds such as High­lander, Gal­loway, steppe cat­tle and bison, you can also mar­vel at the ele­men­tal force of Ger­many’s largest bison herd.

The Euro­pean bison is on the red list of endan­gered species. The Nord­mann Wildlife Park is work­ing on a project to pre­pare the rein­tro­duc­tion of the ani­mals under sci­en­tif­ic supervision. 

The wildlife park is also home to native game species such as red deer, fal­low deer, wild boar and mou­flon. Those who pre­fer some­thing more exot­ic will also find ostrich­es and camels. 

The ani­mals are kept in spa­cious enclo­sures all year round. This means that the ani­mals can be observed almost as if they were in the wild, but at the same time have the nec­es­sary oppor­tu­ni­ties to retreat. 

The start­ing point for a hike through the wildlife park is the park­ing lot direct­ly in front of the hotel. The stamp­ing point is locat­ed at the sign­post­ed wildlife park view­point above the bison enclosure.
