Triesen Animal Park 3 (Liechtenstein)

Weather…

The animal habitat in Triesen extends from the alluvial forests along the Rhine up to the forested mountain slopes of the Kulm. This vertical structure allows for exceptional biodiversity within a small area. In the lower reaches, water birds and amphibians dominate, while the steep mountain forests provide habitat for chamois, roe deer, and various birds of prey. In recent years, Triesen has invested heavily in flood protection, taking ecological aspects such as the creation of ponds and fish ladders into account. The old beech and fir forests on the slope are ecologically valuable and are managed sustainably in terms of forestry. Hiking trails like the Triesen Culture Trail lead through these areas, making nature accessible to the public. It is an important part of the alpine protection forest belt that shields settlements from erosion.
