The Ernstbrunn Wildlife Park is located in Dörfles, a place in the Ernstbrunn municipality in Lower Austria below Ernstbrunn Palace on the edge of the Leiser Berge nature reserve .
The wildlife park is over 40 hectares. It houses preferred domestic animals such as sheep , free-range goats , donkeys and ponies , chamois and ibex , red deer and fallow deer , hares and wild pigs , chickens and ducks , as well as Highland cattle , sika deer , pot-bellied pigs and mouflon .
The park was opened in 1975 in the northern part of the listed Ernstbrunn Palace Park and gradually expanded over the years.
The Wolf Science Center has been located in the Ernstbrunn Wildlife Park since 2009 and moved here from Grünau im Almtal (Salzkammergut). The center offers guided tours that explain and demonstrate behavioral research in timber wolves . In October 2010 the new test building of the Wolf Science Center was opened. It enables visitors to the wildlife park to gain an insight into the work of the behavioral researchers using a one-way mirror.
