Guided Story
Can you feel the stories these walls could tell? This was once the home of the savannah's king, the elephant. Imagine these gentle giants strolling through these halls, the air filled with their deep rumbles. Look to your left, and you'll see the stunning architecture, a shining example of Bavarian heritage. Take a deep breath, and you might catch a whiff of history mingled with the fresh scent of the surrounding park. Behind you, in the distance, the Schmausenbuck rises, a silent guardian of the zoo. In summer, you can hear the birds singing, while in winter, a mystical quiet takes over. Take your time, the tranquility here is a rare treasure.
