After our visit to Holiday Park it was on to Wild Und FreizeitPark, a park that tops Alton Towers in terms of being in the middle of nowhere. To get there we had to descend and then ascend a couple of steep mountain roads on the edge of some huge drops. We where glad we weren't in the coach for this one, and where instead following in the more manoeuvrable minibus. We made sure we gave the coach a wide berth, especially when we came to a narrow bridge where we didn't  want the weight of the coaches and the minibus on it at once. How did they ever get the HGVs and cranes necessary for building their Bobsled coaster too the park?
Wild Und Freizeitpark is a pleasant wildlife park, with a nice amusement area, including quite a few self operational rides. We had enough time to walk around the wildlife trail and try some of the unusual rides before heading over for an E.R.S. on their bobsleigh coaster the Hot Ride.

Here we are, all wondering where the hell we are going?

If this was any further from civilisation you could set a horror film here.

Instead it's the location of a wildlife park.

Little bunny rabbits and guinea pigs, arrrrrrrgh.

Baby guinea pigs, arrrrrrrgh.

Oh, this one isn't as cute. This is a South American Nandus, a close relative of the Rhea. The park also has the aforementioned rheas and ostriches on display.

I think these are Barbary Sheep, a native of North Africa.

I think these are fallow deer and stags.

At this point we started to encounter a load of fairy tale animals. Two of the three little pigs.

The Billy Goat Gruff.
These are actually Ibexes, for any zoo tycoon fans.
