Boek Wildlife Park and horse-drawn carriage rides

📍 Boek

The wildlife park in Boek at the Müritz National Park Boek is located on the eastern bank of the Müritz, right next to the Müritz National Park. The Boek Wildlife Park is an open-air enclosure covering over 80 hectares where you can observe the local flora and fauna in their natural state. All the animals here behave as they would in the wild so that they show a certain respect towards "strangers". That is why they always keep their distance from humans. Especially in the fall, with a little luck, you can watch a special spectacle when the red deer follow their natural instincts and begin to rut. Of course, you can also discover here at all other times of the year how multifaceted and astonishing life in the local nature can be. A visit to Boek Wildlife Park is also worthwhile in winter. Enjoy a carriage ride with mulled wine in the beautiful natural surroundings and get an expert explanation of the flora and fauna.
