Guided Story

Can you smell the fresh forest air? That's one of the reasons this place is known as the Forest Zoo. Look around; these trees aren't just scenery, they're a home for many animals. You might hear birds chirping or the distant roar of a lion. Did you know that over a million people visit this magical place every year? Just behind you, on the slope of the Schölerberg, is the Museum am Schölerberg, a great spot to add even more natural knowledge to your visit. In autumn, when the leaves are ablaze with color, a walk through the zoo is truly special. Take your time to enjoy the peace and the wildlife.
