Gondorf, Germany

---

Eifelpark, located in Gondorf near Bitburg in the Eifel mountains of Germany, is a wildlife and leisure park that opened originally in 1964 as Germany's first open-air wildlife enclosure.

It offers a blend of natural animal habitats and amusement attractions spread across 750,000 square meters. Visitors can enjoy over 50 attractions including roller coasters like the Eifel-Coaster, a giant slide, bumper cars, pedal boats, and a bobsled track that crosses the park.

The park is home to around 200 animals such as brown bears, wolves, lynxes, deer, kangaroos, and meerkats, with opportunities for close animal encounters and a petting zoo for children.

After going through bankruptcy in 2012, it was reopened in 2014 under new management with new rides and renovated facilities, making it a family-friendly destination combining wildlife and fun activities in a picturesque natural setting.
