The grounds include historical tree specimens, some of which are protected natural monuments in the region.
The estate was historically a hunting ground, which has been repurposed into a conservation-focused wildlife park.
The park actively participates in breeding and reintroduction support programs for specific native species.
Wild Park Castle Tambach is a wildlife sanctuary integrated into the historical grounds of Schloss Tambach. The park specializes in native European species, focusing on large game animals like red deer, fallow deer, and sika deer. Visitors traverse expansive woodland enclosures that prioritize animal welfare and natural habitat representation. The site features daily demonstrations showcasing the predatory behaviors of birds of prey, including eagles and owls. A prominent feature is the large, open-range enclosure system that allows deer to roam in forest settings. The park is managed by the Ortenburg family and maintains a strong emphasis on ecological education. Educational trails run throughout the estate, highlighting the region's flora and fauna. The castle architecture serves as a backdrop to the naturalistic enclosures, creating a blend of baroque heritage and wilderness preservation.

Check the daily schedule upon arrival to align your walk with the falconry flight demonstrations.
Wear sturdy, waterproof footwear as the walking paths are mostly unpaved and can be muddy after rain.
Do not attempt to pet or approach animals, even if they appear near the fence, as they are wild creatures.
Open seasonally from spring through autumn; check the official website for winter closures.
Do not feed the animals, stay on marked trails, and keep dogs strictly on a short leash.
