I am bit surprised, that this place virtually doesn't exist in ZooChat (or is named differently ?) and felt obligated to share some info, after my visit.

The Wildpark Donsbach is a standard German forest park, built on a former hunting grounds , which can be accessed relatively easy from Cologne or Frankfurt . Donsbach is a small village 10 min away by car from Dillenburg. There is even a bus from Dillenburg central Station on a weekdays. For weekend visit one needs taxi or Rent a Car.

The main part of the park is situated in a huge picturesque open valley, shared by Red Deer, Fallow Deer and Taiwan Sika, while on the surrounding hills are placed enclousures for Wild Boars, Japanese Sika, Alpine Ibex and Alpine Chamois. There are some domestic stock and Mufloun herd in addition.

The rare in Europe Taiwan Sika and the Alpine Chamois were the reasons for my visit, but I enjoyed the place as well. It is hard to recommend special visit, but the area is very beautiful and Dillenburg's castle is known touristic destination.So, if you end up there don't miss it :)
