A cloudy, dreary weekend with baseball games postponed due to rain. Tired of playing yet another indoor nerf game. The desperate need to get the wiggles out resulted in a wonderful Sunday drive discovery: Wildpark Potzberg!
Our mission was to find a place open on Sunday to purchase a pretzel. Instead, we found the Wildpark and apple cake (pretzels, sold out.) The weather kept a lot of people away, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Although it was a bit windy on the mountain top, we enjoyed the hike around the grounds and the opportunity to feed the very, very friendly beasts.

They have daily Falconry shows at the park and had lots of birds --some on stoops, some in cages, all were incredibly well fed, judging from the remains in their dishes!
Animals you may encounter: peacocks, bunnies, donkeys, ponies, moose, white deer, elk, bald eagles, falcons, hawks, horses, goats and more! |

We enjoyed a delicious apfel kuchen in the café after spending more time with the goats and the giant barrel on the playground. Time spent out of the house: 2.5 hours. Time spent finding something new: priceless |
