Together with Przewalski's horses, wolves, lynx, and aurochs make up the animal spectrum at the Falkenstein National Park Center, which has attracted around 1.4 million visitors since its opening in August 2006. When the planners designed the Falkenstein National Park Center, they didn't simply want to copy the outdoor animal enclosure at the Lusen National Park Center. Rather, they wanted to create something new and reference the region. This gave rise to the idea of presenting four formerly native animal species: Przewalski's horses and aurochs were typical of the post-glacial steppe landscape, while wolves and, in particular, the reintroduced lynx represent the return of the wild.

In addition to the fascinating natural surroundings, the overnight stay itself is a true adventure. Far from the comforts of a five-star hotel, without electricity or running water, you get closer to the forest even while sleeping. The unique themed huts – the Earth Cave, the Tree House, the Star of Light, the Meadow Bed, the Water Hut, and the Forest Tent – allow our guests to experience living spaces from the very beginning. Even simpler accommodation is provided in the Country Huts, which are modeled after the original dwellings and tents from national park regions on all continents, such as Brazil, Mongolia, or Venezuela. In addition, a central building with sanitary facilities, a dining and event hall, a seminar room, and counselor rooms, as well as a summer kitchen, are available for the Country Huts.

The extensive grounds of the wilderness camp at the foot of the Falkenstein, near the village of Zwieslerwaldhaus, are the ideal place to escape for a few days into the emerging forest wilderness of Germany's first national park.
