The park is located directly adjacent to the 'Teufelsschlucht' (Devil's Gorge), a dramatic rock formation created by glacial melting in the last ice age.
The replica collection includes the 'Microraptor,' one of the smallest feathered dinosaurs, displayed alongside massive sauropods.
The park path is designed as a 'time walk,' allowing visitors to move through different geological periods in chronological order.
Several models in the park are based on recent scientific findings, including depictions of feathered theropods.
The site hosts interactive paleo-workshops where visitors can practice uncovering fossil casts.
Some statues are positioned to interact with the surrounding geological features, such as sandstone boulders and narrow ravines.
Dinosaurierpark Teufelsschlucht is an open-air educational park featuring over 160 life-sized dinosaur replicas situated within a forest landscape. The park is integrated into the Irrel Waterfall and Teufelsschlucht rock formation area in the Eifel region. The walking trail spans a 1.5-kilometer path that chronologically showcases the development of life from the Paleozoic to the Cenozoic era. Displays include models of major carnivores and herbivores, as well as replicas of early human ancestors. The park emphasizes paleontological history with integrated information boards along the circuit. It is located near the Luxembourg border, utilizing the natural woodland terrain to simulate prehistoric habitats.
The life-sized Tyrannosaurus Rex clearing, which offers clear lighting and a dramatic forest backdrop.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe hiking shoes as the path consists of natural forest trails and uneven terrain.
Combine your visit with a hike through the adjacent Teufelsschlucht rock fissures for a full day of activity.
Bring bug spray if visiting during humid summer months, as the forested area is susceptible to insects.
Attempting to climb on the dinosaur models, as they are not structurally designed for interaction and it is strictly prohibited.
Closed annually during the winter season, typically from November through March.
Stick to the marked trails to protect the forest floor and ensure the safety of the static dinosaur models.
