wildlife Park Dülmen

For right on the city's doorstep awaits a true natural beauty: the Dülmenthe wildlife park – or, as we call it for our country bumpkin: “The Duke’s English Park”.

Here, the motto is: stroll, marvel, and enjoy! In a wonderfully relaxed park landscape, you can encounter many native animal species without any fences or barriers. Red deer, fallow deer, mouflon, and roe deer often cross your path or can be observed leisurely grazing. Nature up close, stylish, and surrounded by greenery.

The park has history, but without any dust or boredom. As early as the 19th century, the Dukes of Croÿ had their country estate built here and brought on board Edward Milner, a true star of landscape architecture. The result was a park in typical English style: expansive meadows, beautiful groups of trees, shimmering ponds – and of course the Heart Pond with its charming wooden bridge, a perfect spot for a short break or a souvenir photo.
