Wildparkhaus im Solling

The Wildparkhaus: A Living Showcase for Nature

Spanning around 700 square meters, the visitor center serves as an inviting gateway to the Solling Wildlife Park and acts as a vibrant interface between humans and nature. As a multimedia and interactive showcase, the exhibition highlights the region's diverse habitats—from dense forests to the dynamic floodplains that uniquely shape the Solling-Vogler Nature Park. Traces embedded in the floor, such as gnawed pine cones or wolf droppings, instantly spark curiosity. The Wildparkhaus inspires visitors to embark on the real adventure outside, inviting them to explore the surrounding landscape and marvel at the actual animals in their enclosures from up close.

The complex living conditions of the wildlife are vividly decoded, transforming the subsequent park visit into a conscious experience of observation and understanding. Intuitive, emotional hands-on stations actively engage visitors of all ages—touching and experimenting are expressly allowed here! A special highlight is dedicated to the fascination of the floodplains. Here, visitors can interactively discover how the interplay of water and land creates a pulsating lifeline, and which specialized species call these wet primeval forests home.

The impressive result of the collaboration between scientific experts and the design team at nowakteufelknyrim is characterized by a well-balanced narrative, a user-friendly presentation for all target groups, and an exceptionally durable, robust build. Because environmental preservation is at the very core of the center, sustainability is a living principle: the exhibition not only conveys deep knowledge of ecological cycles, but was itself designed according to strict ecological criteria using regional, renewable materials. Furthermore, the exhibition is deeply committed to inclusion. Thanks to an accessible design and a thoughtful two-senses principle, discovery is open to everyone. In this way, the individual elements sensitize young and old alike to the fragile nature right on their doorstep—and far beyond.
