Know Before You Go

  • Hours: Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays: 09:00–18:00.
  • Parking: There is plenty of free parking on site.
  • Accessibility: The grounds and facilities are barrier-free and accessible for wheelchairs and strollers, with loaner wheelchairs and accessible restrooms available.
  • Pets: Dogs are welcome on a leash, and there is a free off-leash dog meadow. Don't leave dogs in the car.

Tips & Advice

  • Leave any treats at home, because feeding the animals is not allowed and many of them are old, ill or on special diets.
  • Keep your dog on a leash, because many of the rescued animals roam freely around the farm, and let it run in the free dog meadow.
  • If you come by train, call the shared taxi from Deggendorf station at least 30 minutes before you arrive. The ride takes about 15 minutes.
  • Let the animals come to you and move calmly around them, because each one decides for itself whether it wants to be touched.
  • Smoke only in the marked smoking areas near the restaurant, because smoking is not allowed anywhere else on the grounds.
