A fun diversion for those traveling with kids — or with an interest in animals — involves a visit to Wildpark Aurach.
Although it's an easy (and picturesque) four-kilometer drive from Kitzbühel, many visitors to the region will undoubtedly opt to hike to this popular wildlife park (perched at a height of over 1,100 meters, it can be a bit of climb, depending upon your fitness level).
All told, over 200 animals call the nearly 100-acre park home, including native species such as deer, wild boar, and lynx, along with a number of exotic species including llamas, yaks, kangaroos — even mountain monkeys — many of them housed in open habitats to ensure as natural an environment as possible.
