Wildgehege Waldshut e.V. is a community-operated wildlife park located in the southern Black Forest region. The facility specializes in housing native European wildlife species within forested enclosures. A primary feature is the interaction with fallow deer, which are often acclimated to human presence. The site integrates into the local hillside landscape, providing naturalistic habitats for its inhabitants. It operates as a registered non-profit association maintained by local volunteers and members. Visitors can navigate the park via established forest paths that traverse the enclosure areas. The park serves as an educational site for understanding regional fauna in a controlled setting.
