The Wildpark Feldkirch is a free alpine wildlife park on the forested Ardetzenberg slope above Feldkirch’s medieval old town in western Vorarlberg. Ibex, deer, wild boar, Alpine marmots, wolves, and lynx in large natural enclosures, with forest walking paths and Rhine valley views extending to Liechtenstein and Switzerland. No admission fee, donation-based, open year-round from dawn to dusk. The park sits 10 minutes on foot above the Feldkirch Altstadt, one of the better-preserved medieval old towns in western Austria, with arcaded streets and a 13th-century castle. The combination makes Feldkirch a half-day stop that most visitors traveling between Bregenz and Innsbruck or between Austria and Switzerland miss entirely. Worth knowing about if you are anywhere near the Vorarlberg-Liechtenstein border.
