The main attraction of AffenbergMonkey hill Salem is very special: More than 200 Barbary macaques live freely within a forest area of 20 hectares. A footpath guides the visitors through the monkeys` home range where you meet the animals from eye to eye, without any physical barriers. Specially prepared popcorn is distributed free and can be fed to the monkeys. This concept not only provides a fascinating contact with our relatives, but also offers excellent conditions for observing, photographing and filming. Furthermore the park has proved to be an ideal field for behavioural studies and it also contributes to the conservation of the endangered Barbary Macaques. Entire groups have been reintroduced to their native homelands in North Africa.
