Wildcat Hideout

Highlight • Trail

The European wildcat prefers untidy forests. She feels at home where fallen trees and root plates remain and tree cavities can be found. Here she finds enough hiding places for herself and her young.

Wildcat enclosure at the Marienteich Hut

Highlight • Structure

A trip here is totally worth it, there are feedings and lots of information about the wild cats three times a day (except Mondays). And just because of Hugo (the house cat), a visit here is recommended.

Since it was around 30 degrees again today, we did the summer variant and took the bus up the mountain. The tour only got really nice on the last 2 kilometers, as a secluded path led along the stream. The rest was just a shadowless gravel road, not what you imagine a climb to be.

The first 3.5 km are beautiful. It goes through the middle of the forest past a stream. Then it's only on forest roads through deforested landscape. The wild cat enclosure is worth a visit again
