The castle was originally constructed as a fortified residential building by the Lords of Blankenheim.
The 37-meter high main tower is one of the few surviving parts of the original double-castle complex.
The park features a wolf pack living in a large, forested enclosure designed to mimic natural Vulkaneifel habitats.
The flight demonstrations are conducted in the open castle courtyard, allowing birds to utilize natural updrafts.
The Kasselburg is built upon a volcanic basalt outcrop, a common geological feature of the Eifel region.
Eagle and Wolf Park Kasselburg is situated within the 12th-century ruins of the Kasselburg castle in Pelm, Germany. The park specializes in falconry flight demonstrations featuring eagles, hawks, and vultures alongside educational presentations on its resident wolf pack. Visitors can access the castle tower, which provides a panoramic view of the surrounding Vulkaneifel region. The animals are kept in enclosures integrated into the historical basalt-stone ruins of the former fortress. The site serves as both a wildlife conservation area and a historical monument.

Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear as the terrain around the ruins is uneven, steep, and consists of loose gravel.
Arrive early to secure a seat in the courtyard before the flight demonstrations begin, as they are the primary attraction.
Bring layers, as the elevated, open-air nature of the castle ruins can lead to significant wind chill even on sunny days.
Do not attempt to climb or lean on the un-restored sections of the castle walls, as the ruins are protected and unstable.
Closed on Mondays; the park is typically closed during the winter season, usually reopening in early spring.
Maintain a quiet distance from the wolf enclosure to avoid stressing the animals; do not attempt to feed any animals unless explicitly directed by staff.
