UNESCO World Heritage Site
Parts of Hesse's only national park were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2011. Old beech forests and primeval beech forests in the Carpathians and other regions of Europe are on a par with the Galapagos Islands, the Great Barrier Reef and Yellowstone National Park. They are creations worthy of protection and of exceptional value and outstanding global importance. This huge, ancient forest area is located in the middle of Germany. Young plants grow under centuries-old oak and beech trees. It is up to nature to decide who will prevail and survive. People don't intervene, they just observe.
With exciting interactive productions and a 4D sensory film, the Kellerwald National Park Center provides playful insights into the wilderness. The Kellerwald Clock highlights the history of man's relationship with our forest from the Ice Age to the present day. The beech house at the Wildlife Park is an exciting experience space in which people take on the perspective of the forest dwellers. The wildlife park itself is a magical attraction for young and old.
