Ice Age Wildlife Park

Highlight • Structure

In the Ice Age game enclosure, the most important prey animals of the Neanderthals now live well protected in enclosures: aurochs, tarpans (primeval horses) and bison. The cattle and horses, however, are bred, the original species have become extinct.

Düssel River in the Neander Valley

Highlight • River

Trail along the Düssel in Neandertal

Highlight • Trail

Heron Island Pond, Neandertal (Neander Valley)

Highlight • Lake
