About Harzfalkenhof
Harzfalkenhof is a falconry at Katzenstein near Bad Sachsa in the Harz, built around birds of prey and owls. Its offer is a flight show with the birds free-flying, a walk through the falconry itself, guided owl walks into the dusk to see eagle owls and tawny owls in their own habitat away from the noise, and a petting enclosure alongside. It publishes no rate card - tours and shows are booked directly - and its animal pages are still a placeholder, promising individual profiles of the birds at some future point, so no species list is available beyond the few the site names in passing.
Visitors can park in the designated parking area near the entrance of Harzfalkenhof. Parking is free, making it convenient for families and groups. It is advisable to arrive early during peak times to secure a good spot.
