Wildpark in Feldkirch





Okay, so apparently in Austria they like to put wilderness parks on the top of mountains. There are signs for the park in the city below, so we set off around the switchbacks, and after an amazing gluteus maximus (that's your bum for all of you aspiring physiologists) workout, we made it to the top. Steve insisted on pushing the stroller all the way, and we were all glad to have finally made it to the top. What we found was a large wild animal park nestled in a forest. Many of the animals were native to the area, so it was cool to see. There were goats, wild boar, all kinds of deer, wild cats, wolves, and many other animals. Liam freaked out with every new animal. He would say, "I see, I see." In fact, on the way up the hill, he spotted several little lizards that Delaine and Steve didn't even notice. The boy has an eye for nature. As a note, he was just as excited about the dogs on leashes and the house cat he found near the entrance, as he was about the wild animals. There was a really cool playground in the park, and the boys played to their hearts' content. It was an excellent Saturday activity.
