Visit of the Eagle Park
Parks and wildlife parksEagle Mountain in Kintzheim offers a fascinating, impressive spectacle: the greatest birds of prey in the world freely flying against a backdrop of the ruins of Kintzheim Castle.
The skilfulness of eagles, acrobatics of black kites, dizzying speeds of falcons, silent flight of owls, closeness to vultures or ingenuity of Egyptian vultures: our residents have many a surprise in store! You will discover birds from all over the world that you could not approach in the wild and see them do what they would in the wild. Demonstrations are made with a view to reproducing the natural behaviour of the birds. They are not aimed at making them do tricks or using them as props in a costume production. All the residents of the Volerie are birds born in captivity: no birds of prey are taken from the wild.
Horaires d'ouverture
Schedules vary during the season, please consult the website.
Reopening on Wednesday 27 March 2024!
Eagle Park
A commanding view of the Alsace plain. On the western edge of the foothills of the Vosges, Kintzheim castle stands on a small rocky outcrop that looks down onto two valleys lying to the north and south. Its elevation is 260 m. This hill is about 100 metres above the village. The site includes an area of 850 m² in which the birds are housed, out of total of 3800 m². The display area is 800 m². In the 6th century, Kintzheim was known as Regis Villa. The Merovingian kings had made it the centre of a vast domain encompassing Haut-Koenigsbourg.

Mobilité réduite
L'aire de présentation, toute la cour du château ainsi qu'une partie du château supérieur sont accessibles aux poussettes et PMR. Certaines zones ne sont malheureusement pas accessibles car il faut gravir des marches. Le fait que le château soit classé aux monuments historiques nous contraint énormément dans nos possibilités d'aménagement mais nous continuons de travailler sur l'optimisation du confort de visite !
