Steppe Animal Park and Historic Sights

The Pamhagen Steppe Animal Park covers 13 hectares and is home to around 50 animal species. Some live freely and can be seen up close by visitors. The park thus combines a large area with opportunities to encounter animals. The steppe animal park was founded in 1975.

The village’s history can also be traced through specific buildings. The Turkish Tower stands on the main street and is also locally known as the Bell Tower. It is no longer in use and remains only as a sight. The Maria Lourdes Chapel in Pamhagen was built in 1907. Together with the animal park, these places offer different themes for planning your day: animal species and the park’s history on the one hand, and local buildings and their history on the other.

Bicycle Rental and Local Produce

There is a Nextbike bicycle rental station at Pamhagen railway station. Check its availability before setting out on your trip. This lets you take the station information into account when planning without assuming a bicycle will be available at a particular time.

Fruit growers in Pamhagen sell apples, pears, and apricots. These fruits are used, among other things, to make juices, schnapps, and liqueurs. Some winegrowers invite visitors to their wine cellars to taste white, sweet, and red wines; check availability with each business in advance. Local produce and wine tastings thus add further themes to your stay alongside the routes and sights.
