Monkey Mountain

Mount Monkey is a park below the castle in Kintzheim in Alsace. Established in 1969, the Berber Macaque breeding currently has about 300 individuals of different ages.

Animals inhabiting about 25 hectares of pine forest live all the time in the open air. Berber macaques are a species native to the mountains of North America, where winters can be very snowy and cold.

Several kilometers of educational and walking paths have been marked out in the park. They are guided by qualified guides who provide information on the life of monkeys. The animals themselves are very friendly and willing to approach people. You can regularly watch their feeding shows. Nature workshops and photographic locations are also organized.
