Guided Story

Can you hear the leaves rustling above you? That's the Barnstorfer Forest, embracing the zoo with its natural charm. Imagine this: back in 1899, it all began right here with just a handful of animals. Now, there are over 6,500. The zoo is famous for its polar bears, and you might spot one soon. Did you know they play a special role here? In winter, when the first snow falls, they move almost silently through their white realm. As you walk on, look out for the intriguing details along the paths—each season brings something new.
