Facing the castle across the town is Ardetzenberg (631m), a heavily forested hill. At its northern end is this wildlife park, with a woodland trail, an adventure playground, barbecue areas, and animal-friendly enclosures home to marmots, ibex and wild boar. From central Feldkirch, take the Himmelsstiege steps and Weinbergstiege. It's around a 20-minute walk.
