PSSSST! THE INSIDER TIP:
The nearly 8-ha game reserve in the Weisshauswald is fun for the entire family, allowing you to observe wild boars, chickens, wild sheep, Mangalica pigs, pheasants, wild goats, deer and donkeys all year round. Playgrounds and picnic tables make it a perfect daytrip. But beware: Any bread or snacks brought along with you is for humans only. You can buy special food for the wild animals from feed machines on site, and then scatter it into the cages via small wooden ramps.
