Abstract:

Over 200 years after the great Goldau rockslide, mighty rocks still lay strewn where they fell. In 1925, in the rockslide area, Nature and Animal Park Goldau was founded. The compound plays a significant role in showing domestic and European animals. Deer, wolves, bears, lynxes, birds of prey and domesticated animals – approximately 700 animals and 100 animal species – live in a natural habitat of some 34 hectares. Visitors can watch the animals all year round. Rest areas, tours, discovery stations, and – due to the extensive free running zones where people can feed sika deer, mouflon, and other cloven-hoofed animals – beckon people to stay. In 2009, a fascinating enclosure for bears and wolves went operational, and, two years after the opening, has withstood the test of endurance. Only the bears had to be stopped in front of the caves’ trench. Vegetation is very good thanks to the planting having been done long before the opening. Nothing has to be refitted. 700 groups can be accompanied to tour the compound annually).
