Alpen Wildpark Feld am See is a 11-hectare wildlife preserve situated in the Carinthian Nock Mountains. The park houses over 30 species of alpine animals, including red deer, fallow deer, mouflons, ibex, and marmots, within spacious natural enclosures. A marked walking circuit allows visitors to observe these animals in a semi-wild environment. The site also features an integrated museum showcasing a collection of over 2,000 taxidermy specimens from around the world. The facility operates as a family-friendly educational destination focused on regional fauna. Paths are designed for gentle hiking, though the terrain reflects the mountainous landscape of the Schattseite area.
